Gilad is from the small town of Ness tziona, Israel where he first found his interest in woodworking as a carpenter. His passion for the finer side of woodworking led him to the United States. The past year he has been living and working in Portland, Oregon spending his spare time at the maker space ADX, submerging himself in the craft of woodworking. He is excited to be here at the Krenov school, learning from true masters of the craft and among such talented classmates.
