Rufus Cooke

“CAD drawings mean nothing without a builders hand/mind…

“making things has always been a passion for me.” Rufus started working for builders at age 14 and after graduating school became a custom woodworker leading to 25 years of intensive shop experience with a diverse array of projects, tools and materials leading to an expert knowledge of:

    ● CAD/CNC

    ● Tangent hand railing

    ● 3D Stair design/layout for fabrication & site coordination

    ● Part Listing & Data Integration

Before the UK move, Rufus was a member of the local ambulance corps. “The (ambulance) Corps was something I was very fond of and I believe we all share a duty to assist our communities in any way we can.” With the days of being “on call” past, this leaves more time to assist Pauline with fundraising for the local hospice and Cancer Research as we never have to look far to see the differences they make in people’s lives.

Finally, at the end of the day (when possible), the other lifelong passion is playing guitar. “I think I’m incredibly fortunate and sadly I’ve taken it for granted. For me, guitar is the tactile medium which counters the long hours (and yes, even stresses) working at a computer and much of music is based upon the right combinations of hues, textures and especially numbers coming together.” Hmm, is this starting to sound familiar?
