Eric Key, while still in high school, took a job in a custom woodworking shop just to get out of school early each day. He was fortunate to have a boss who had been a shop teacher. Eric fell in love with woodworking and stayed with it for nearly a decade while earning a Master of Divinity degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. Woodworking became a way to earn extra income while pastoring an inner-city church in Indianapolis and a way to make a living after resigning. His greatest accomplishment will always be his two sons, Nathan and Wyatt.
