Chris Leger.  Lee & Sons Woodworkers, Inc. in Andover, CT

I started working with wood while hanging around underfoot in my father's shop. At 16, I was working part time by his side after school, then full time after graduating from high school. Over the years, he has taught me a lot about working with wood. But more importantly, he instilled in me the principle of taking pride in whatever I do.

I enjoy building things that will be around for many years to come. In a world where most things in our homes are made to be disposable, I take particular pleasure in making things that I know will last for generations. With all the concerns about the environment today, I believe it makes sense to use the resources we have by taking the time to build things to last.

I’ve been working as a part of Lee & Sons for 20 years now. In those two decades, I’ve gotten married, had three kids and now get to work with my brother on a daily basis. Outside of work, I try to spend as much time as possible with my children. I also seem to find plenty of projects around our home that allow me to work with wood, although my wife and I sometimes disagree about which ones take priority.

If it involves wood, we can build it for you!
