Danny is a ten year army vet with 3 tours to Iraq and one to Afghanistan who uses his woodworking as a tool to help cope with his PTSD. After serving in the army, he “job hopped” a myriad of different industries trying to find what he wanted to be as a grown up. He still hasn’t grown up, as the father of 3 small kids, he’s often referred to by his wife as her 4th kid.
