Henry didn’t just become a carpenter — he grew into one. Thirty‑two years ago, he stepped onto his first jobsite with a toolbelt that was still too new and boots that hadn’t yet seen mud. What he lacked in experience, he made up for in grit, curiosity, and the instinctive feel for wood that only real builders have.

When he joined Denk & Roche — a place he would end up calling home for 29 years — he found the kind of work that shapes a person. He framed houses through winters that froze the studs in his hands, raised wood structures that stood taller than the cranes that set them, and learned the rhythm of CFS buildings long before they became industry standard.

As the craft evolved, so did he. When mass timber arrived on the scene, Henry didn’t hesitate. He leaned in. He learned. He built. Three full mass‑timber buildings later, he’s become one of the rare carpenters who can say he’s touched the future of construction with his own hands.

What defines Henry isn’t just the years — it’s the structures, the crews, the early mornings, the problem‑solving, and the pride of walking past a building knowing he helped bring it into the world. After three decades, he’s still doing what he’s always done: building with skill, with integrity, and with the quiet confidence of someone who knows exactly what he’s doing.
