My name is David Hanna, and for over 18 years, Hanna Carpentry has been my passion. My professional life began with a foundation of discipline, integrity, and a commitment to excellence forged during my time in the military. I carried those core values into a successful civilian career that spanned more than a decade in high-stakes Senior IT roles, managing complex, mission-critical systems for large corporations like TD Bank and various government bodies. In that world, everything was about precision, meticulous problem-solving, and a deep understanding of how complex systems must work together flawlessly.

In 2007, I founded Hanna Carpentry, turning my lifelong passion into a professional business. After more than a decade spent managing mission-critical systems in the IT world, I transitioned fully to my craft, bringing that same 'polymath approach' to every project. It means your project is viewed through multiple lenses—as an artist, an engineer, and a builder. It ensures every piece is not only aesthetically beautiful but also intelligently designed, structurally sound, and flawlessly executed from the initial blueprint to the final installation.

This approach informs every step of my process. It begins with a deep, collaborative conversation to understand your vision and culminates in the hands-on craft. I personally hand-select every board from North America's top suppliers, looking for the perfect grain and character to bring your project to life. In my workshop, I blend timeless woodworking techniques with modern precision to transform those raw materials into a finished piece. From the initial milling and joinery to the meticulous, multi-stage hand-sanding and flawless finish, every detail is executed with an unwavering commitment to a master-level standard.

Ultimately, when you work with Hanna Carpentry, you are working directly with me. You get more than a carpenter; you get a dedicated partner with a unique commitment to both the art and the science of fine woodworking. My promise is to transform your vision into a tangible, heirloom-quality reality that is built with integrity and designed to be a treasured part of your home for generations to come.

My journey through these diverse fields has equipped me with a unique problem-solving methodology.
