Hi, Austin here!
I’m a family medicine resident physician (mouthful I know) living in the wonderful state of Delaware! If you don’t know what a resident physician is I encourage you to watch scrubs my all time favorite TV show. Prior to this current role I was a medical student in need of furniture with a medical students budget, and so began my journey into woodworking! From one piece to another I began building for myself and then family and friends, and I have learned so much along the way. I am constantly learning and developing my woodworking / making skills, all in parallel with my medical career.
A lot of people ask how I find time woodworking during residency. Life as a resident can definitely be time consuming and frequently overwhelming. Crazy as it is, I am so happy I chose to dedicate my life to the field of medicine! One of the reasons I continue to pursue woodworking outside of my daytime duties is because it brings me so much joy and peace in my life. I think its important to be intentional with your time, and woodworking has become my way of finding mindfulness and mental health outside of a career that can be stressful at times.
Thank you so much for finding your way to this page, and being curious enough to read more about my journey! Check out my other pages, and if you like my work please consider subscribing to my youtube channel or following me on instragram @the_wood_doc to see what I am up to on a day to day basis.
