Brian Koitz – Artist/Craftsman

I could say my love for building and creating started when I was young. Between Lego’s and any type of model I could get my hands on, I’ve been making and creating things most of my life. The jobs I had through grade school were in landscaping or construction, allowing me to create with different types of materials. That lead me to pursue a degree in design engineering from Michigan State University. My career eventually lead me to starting a residential construction company, which I still operate today. I’ve been able to create custom pieces as part of a larger project for many of my clients.

The Woodworking company has been a brainchild for several years. I am at the point in my career where I can put more focus into growing and creating new and exciting pieces. At Koitz Woodworks, my passion is being able to bring someone’s story to life. It can start with a story about something, a picture, an idea, an existing piece of furniture, or simply a piece of wood.  What separates my products from things you can find online, in a store, or antique shop is that the piece you design will tell your story and no one else’s!
