Zachary Weeks' Biographical Sketch

Woodwork has been a part of my life as long as I can remember.  Growing up in East Texas, I was fascinated by building things.  Some of my earliest memories are from my father’s woodshop.  After my family moved to Wimberley when I was five, I started to learn more and more.  In those days I didn’t work on things for my dad, I just tinkered around on my own small projects.  Most of what I did was either a toy boat or toy gun.  All those years of messing around gave me the necessary skills for what I do now for Gary Weeks and Company.  It also gave me great hand to eye coordination and steady hands.

Those years of woodwork are probably the reason that I am studying engineering today.  I am currently an engineering student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock.  The only times that I still work for my dad are during summertime and for a short time over the Christmas holidays, but it is a great break from school to be able to go home and do something different.  I will continue to work for my dad until I become a full time engineer.

I am very glad that I was able to work for my father all these years.  It has given me a good work ethic and an excellent eye for detail.  My experiences working with wood will stay with me always and I consider myself very lucky to have had the chance.
