Ken Yarbrough
Construction Technician
Hometown: Orange, Texas
Favorite types of projects: My favorite projects are any that are built of wood. I love making interior tables (dining, coffee, end, etc.) from walnut, pecan, mesquite and other fine woods and outdoor furniture in my spare time. Many of these items are donated for benefit auctions.
How you got involved in this industry: I got involved in this industry under the tutelage of my father. Although Dad was a PHD chemist by profession, he was an extremely skilled craftsman. I watched and learned from him as much as a kid could. I went from fetching tools/materials to actually being able to build things.
Fun fact: I retired from law enforcement after a nearly 37 year career and can now enjoy my first loves of my wife, children, motorcycle riding, woodworking, fishing, and hunting.
