Olivia grew up around chainsaw carving and began assisting her father by filling saws with gas and oil around 8 years old. At age 9 she had a school project and asked to do it with a chainsaw so with her fathers careful guidance, they collectively operated a chainsaw to complete the project. Over the next few years, she learned to embrace “Tricks of the trade” so to speak and started by carving custom lettered signs at age 14. She has become our designated sign carver and now carves signs in front of customers as they watch. While many young girls receive clothing and hair bows for their birthday, Olivia had no problem receiving her very own chainsaw . Over the past few years, Olivia has began carving freestanding sculptures and continues to develop her own artistic style.  In 2018 Olivia and her father competed in their first partnered competition and won first place. Additionally, she has won multiple solo awards advancing her to compete on a national level.   She now attends college and is majoring in health care administration.
