Who Dis?

Javier here.

I wear many hats … foremost as a Dad to 4 amazing kids and partner to a creative woman who serves as writer  & faithful witness to my wild and crazy builds.

Mr. Build/Fix it

This crazy ride started with building a DIY wine rack with my partner which then evolved to desk building and anything wood inspired for our home or even yours. I started EL Maestro 35 in my mind when I built those wine racks, and then officially fired the trigger last year when I created EM35 (like with everything still a work in progress).

El Maestro is a homage to my father who taught me the dignity and fulfillment that comes with mastering your craft and the understated value of hard work. It’s my hope to stay true to that philosophy in everything I do.
