Skilltree Designs was born out of a big leap of faith. 

After entering my 15th year of working for one of the worlds largest consumer products companies, I was left feeling unfulfilled in my talents and yearning for more time with my family.  I made the choice to leave and dive into my passion for all things woodworking.

The name Skilltree speaks to the heart of what I and our small team take pride in everyday; a committed approach to all jobs large and small, an unfailing commitment to quality - the kind of quality that most bypass these days - and a vision of artisanal craftsmanship.

My name is Dan Brody.  I married my high school sweetheart and had two of the most inspiring and beautiful kids imaginable.  I'm a man of faith, strong-willed and insanely meticulous.  I laugh a lot and am a big believer in making beautiful pieces, not only built well but built the right way.  I never take shortcuts.
