My Story

Ethan brings an extensive background in supply chain and logistics management, honed during his 7 years of service in the United States Air Force. While on active duty, he worked closely with maintenance technicians, providing support for the repair of C-5, C-17, and KC-10 aircraft. Ethan received multiple commendation medals during his tours in Incirlik, Turkey, and his deployment to the United Arab Emirates. He holds an Associate of Science (A.S.) in Logistics Management from the Community College of the Air Force and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Organizational Leadership from the University of Massachusetts Global.

 

After leaving the Air Force, Ethan returned to his hometown of Wausau and began a multi-year process of taking over Woodcraft. He has worked diligently alongside his father, allowing him to semi-retire. Ethan has a deep passion for delivering exceptional customer service, specializing in cabinetry design, and helping customers select cabinet and countertop colors and materials. His goal is to make every kitchen or bathroom project a smooth, stress-free experience.

​

Ethan is committed to upholding the Woodcraft legacy, ensuring the company continues to provide high-quality cabinetry and outstanding customer satisfaction for many years to come.

​

Outside of work, Ethan enjoys spending time with family, being out on the lake in the summer, running, biking, and cheering for Wisconsin sports teams.
