NICK OFFERMAN – CARPENTER & ENTREPRENEUR

Nick Offerman is an actor, comedian, author, and carpenter who achieved fame with his role in Parks and Recreation, a TV sitcom on NBC. Nick is also renowned for his role as Karl Weathers in Fargo, an FX series. Offerman served as an executive producer for the film The House of Tomorrow, where he also starred. When he lived in Chicago in the mid-1990s, he joined with theater companies such as Goodman, Stephen Wolf, and Wisdom Bridge. He is also a professional boat builder and decided to fortify his bank account by starting up Offerman Woodshop, a carpentry collective. He makes furniture and other wooden structures such as canoes and boats at his woodshop.

Aside from woodworking, Offerman has released three semi-autobiographical publications entitled: Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man’s Fundamentals for Delicious Living in 2013, Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America’s Gutsiest Troublemakers in 2015, and Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop in 2016. He also penned down a foreword for The Tool Book. This guy probably kept away from monetary hassles such as bankruptcy and loans.
