"I Work With My Hands Everyday"…Ex-KPMG Consultant Finds Bliss Crafting Custom Furniture

  1. "I Work With My Hands Everyday"...Ex-KPMG Consultant Finds Bliss Crafting Custom Furniture Andy Levine 21:34

Sergio Raynal was at the top of his game. With a staff of 25+, he was responsible for KPMG’s Real Estate and hospitality consulting for Pacific Asia and the West Coast of the United States.

Woodworking was always a hobby and a way to relieve Stress from his high-pressure job. But it became a “side hustle” and eventually a full-time pursuit following a falling out with the management team at KPMG.

“The reward is the sense of accomplishment and creation. That’s what I like about working with my hands. I’ll sometimes be bone tired. I feel every ache and pain but at the end of the day there is a great deal of satisfaction that comes from a day well spent in the shop.”

Sergio uses old-world furniture making and cabinetry techniques – never using a nail or screw in his work. You can view his handiwork at www.SergioReynal.com.
