Brian Harris grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa the son of a carpenter. His dad built cabinets and furniture and Brian spent much time watching him create and install them.
Brian’s two favorite places to create masterpieces are the kitchen and his woodshop. Brian and his wife Cherrise have six girls between them. Yes, you heard that right- the Brady Bunch on Estrogen! Feeding this bunch, and their people is and always will be a big production.
A few years ago, Brian and his daughter Sydney began building furniture for her apartment and gifts for friends and family members. Projects include a record cabinet, toddler stools, bookshelves, coffee tables, and games. In 2023, his wife, Cherrise, adopted a plant-based diet. Brian experienced first-hand the preparation (especially chopping!) involved in creating plant-based meals. This led him to research chef preferences for cutting boards, and the idea for Ramblin’ Man Woodworks handmade cutting boards began.
Over the past year, Brian has studied cutting boards extensively. His research has included preferred types of board styles, wood species, and how to properly finish and maintain a cutting board. He has invested in quality equipment and prides himself in devoting the time needed to create superb products. Click on these links to see his exceptional work:

Currently, Brian has a small inventory of products in his shop. However, most of the items are custom-made to order. He uses wood from local Missouri sources and ships orders free from his shop in Kansas. Whether you want a sturdy, quality, board to chop your vegetables on, a statement piece for your kitchen, or a gift for a wedding or special event, the Ramblin’ Man can help you.

Dr. Douglas J. Lisle, Ph.D.is the co-author of The Pleasure Trap available here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1570671974?tag=onamzchefajsh-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=1570671974&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1GNPDCAG4A86S
Dr. Doug Lisle is an evolutionary psychologist and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health and Happiness. He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology.
Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world’s greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle’s 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology.
Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness.
Dr Lisle is available at selected days and times for a one-to-one, personal phone consultation:
