Rasim
Carpenter
Rasim was born the youngest of five children in a small town in Turkey, where his mother had a huge garden and his father kept bees when he wasn’t working as a carpenter for the railroad. Later the family moved to Istanbul, where he attended school and worked part time for an HVAC company.
When he was 18, he moved to the U.S. and worked in his sister’s family’s restaurant for many years until deciding to pursue a career in carpentry. When he isn’t at work, he has plenty of projects to keep him busy at his fixer-upper in Watertown.
Rasim and his wife enjoy spending time with their tuxedo cat, Larry. Rasim also recently completed the requirements to acquire his pilot’s license.
