Taos Door & Hardware Co Gift & Greeting Card

Business Description

I grew up on a small dairy farm in upstate NY near a small town called Bovina. You may have already guessed that there were a lot of dairys in the area. I learned how to do physical work there and developed a love for the outdoors.A carpenter by the name of Henry Monroe was hired by my Mom and Dad to buld an entryway closet and storage in the old farmhouse. He built it from 1/2" AC plywood and put some nice thumbpush latches on the swinging doors and one door was a slider. He inspired me. After high school I went to Canton SUNY in Nothern NY, not far from the St. Lawrence Seaway. Never been so darned cold. The wind blows so much, all the trees have a permanent lean. I went to work for a construction outfit in Delhi, NY, where over the next few years I learned to build a house from bottom to top. Well, I got the idea anyway. Moved to Taos, NM in the fall of 1977 at the age of 23. Haven't left yet.
