Meet Your Maker
Jason McWhirter
Jason's journey into woodworking began in middle school shop class, where he developed a passion and a foundational skill set that he continued to hone throughout high school. After his formal education, Jason took a position in a production furniture shop, gaining invaluable experience in the craft.
Jason's path then led him to Basic Military Training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. While on active duty, he balanced his time between working on aircraft by day and building furniture in his garage by night, maintaining his dedication to woodworking.
After his military career, Jason pursued higher education, starting with a desire to address some academic weaknesses. This led him to California State University Northridge, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in 2020 and a Master’s degree in 2023.
During his time as a graduate student, Jason began to reflect on his future. While a career in academia or industry was an option, he felt a pull towards his early passion for woodworking. With the support of his family, Jason founded Red Moose Woodworking, where he now combines his creativity, experience, and passion, to create heirloom-quality furniture for his clients.
