Roger Funke grew up on a wheat and barley farm in Northern Idaho where he learned an array of handyman skills from his father, including woodworking.
In shop class in high school, he made a roll-top desk that won a regional competition. He also worked in his cousin’s cabinet shop before heading off to Boise State University to get a degree in marketing, followed by an MBA.
He spent 33 wonderful years at Hewlett Packard, while also becoming a master woodworker. Now a full-time artisan, he specializes in custom-made furniture, cabinetry, shelving, and breathtaking ukuleles.
Roger also loves to cook, garden, consult at Larimer Small Business Development Center, and do handyman jobs for friends. He is married to author Teresa Funke and is the proud father of three grown children.
