Ciro was my grandfather’s first name and my father’s and my middle name.

My grandfather was born in 1889 in Salemi, Sicily, and immigrated to the USA in 1912. Unfortunately, I never really knew my grandfather. Ciro passed away when I was 7 years old.

Neither my father nor grandfather was a craftsman by trade. My father worked wood and made furniture and other items for the household in his spare time. In their memory, I have turned to woodworking in my retirement years. I hope you enjoy viewing my pieces as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

My wife and I retired to New Hampshire to be closer to our family. Here I find our home to be a peaceful setting to continue my woodworking. I continue to learn this craft and how to apply new techniques to my woodworking.
