A native of Alaska, accomplished carpenter Thad Mills' career has been fueled by his Juneau upbringing. He completed a four year, 8000 hour course at the Southern Alaskan Carpenters Training Center and went on to work in rural areas of Alaska where he put his talent and education to use on everything from renovating schools and hospitals to working on missile silos. He currently resides in Los Angeles where he's put his love for sustainable living into a reclaimed and slab wood furniture business.

Thad has also been the lead carpenter on the hit shows Trading Spaces and Dear Genevieve, hosted the home design show Neighbor Labor, and was most recently featured on HGTV's White Room Challenge. Motivating and empowering others with construction know-how that has the ability to change lives is his passion.
