Pepper is a CPA with 30+ years experience in the financial management of companies contracting with the Federal government in the non-profit public health space and the Defense Department technology industry.

Pepper’s interest in woodworking started when she took up fiddle playing a few years ago and became curious about the qualities of different woods used in stringed instruments.  She has a deep interest in traditional joinery and the use of hand tools, but enjoys learning about a wide variety of design and construction methods.
