A COMPANY OF PEOPLE WHO CARE

Craig Aument built his first timber frame “like 100 years ago”. “It just made sense to me. It wasn’t hard to get. I’m really good with straight and flat and level.” Save for a few years working as a farrier it’s all he’s ever done. He started Cascade in a dairy barn in Everson, WA. Today he oversees all of our design and production.

Ryan Misiolek says he felt a calling to timber framing. “My mother was born in Holland and her father and for generations before him were all carpenters. My Opa was from Friesland and used to build timber frame barns. I even have some of his tools.” Today RJ runs our shop crew and makes it all happen.

John Miller‘s dad was a physician, but he always had a woodshop, and John says he got the bug early. Then in 1987 he saw his first timber frame building. “It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.” John runs the business side of Cascade and in his spare time builds guitars to keep his hands on wood.

Tristan Toth‘s first job at 16 was as an apprentice on job sites at his family’s general contracting company. He joined us in the summer of 2019 as an intern. He wants to be a teacher, but if that doesn’t work out he’ll always be welcome here. He says “I really like the people at Cascade. They’re so nice, and always willing to share what they know.” For fun he’s started to build furniture using skills he’s learned here.

Corrie Croswaite comes from a logging family, and she’s always been in the construction trade. She says that “I like keeping things organized in the office, making sure that everyone has the equipment and materials they need”. She remembers that her father was always building things out of wood, “so being here is in a way like having him back”.

Willis Rozycki What began as summer jobs in Colorado eventually became a quest towards craftsmanship. A graduate of the Timber Framers Guild apprenticeship program he’s now a registered Journeyman.  If he’s not in the shop or out on site, he’s probably fishing. He likes to say: “Timber Framing is the perfect combination of fine woodwork and heavy construction”.

Bryan Steiner discovered woodworking at a young age, but really found a passion for it when he learned how to make a good guitar sound great by customizing it. He’s travelled the world outfitting aircraft interiors, and he loves baseball. During the season he can usually be found with his family down in Everett taking in an AquaSox game on the weekends.

Omar Anguiano likes to talk about the pride that comes along with building somebody’s dream. “The detail-centric methodology we use really resonates with me. It is so rewarding to work with others who continuously strive to increase their own skill level. Here we support each other in always getting better.” The father of two beautiful boys, Omar makes furniture from our offcuts, too.
