Cabinet Fabrication Group

Chris Clemans

Chris is the guy that is often the first one a visitor to CabFab will encounter – he does it all. Sales, design, building and feeding us lunch. His idea of relaxing is cooking dinner for 12 people without having a menu in mind till he gets to the store for inspiration.

Scott Hoehn

Scott is the design and drafting guy. He is often the one tasked with taking something that Chris dreams up and having to figure out how to draw it. Lately, he’s been learning a bit about building cabinets so he can think about how the heck we are supposed to build these things he draws! Scott has a crafty sense of humor, and is often saying things that make Carolyn stop in her tracks to look up and see if he REALLY said that.

Jody & Gary

Jody and Gary are the shop guys.  They keep the router running and supplied with materials to cut.  They’ve been known to do everything from dig ditches to build cabinets.  Jody is the man in charge of assembling all the cabinet boxes. He's fast and can lift a cabinet at least three times his own weight.  Gary has been the CNC router operator for a while now. Over the past year however, he has trained to also be the master of the spray booth and is the guy that lays down silky smooth finishes on all the woodworking.  They have a ‘friend’  Wilma that keeps them company in the shop.  She started out as a ball of tape named Wilson… well, the rest is a long story!

Miles Lewis

Production Manager

Miles joined CabFab in September 2009 after spending some time being apprenticed by some of our most respected fellow cabinetmakers.  He comes to us with many skills, great abilities to problem solve and is great with his hands.  In fact when he is not building cabinets and spraying finishes, he is a juggler, professional wedding cake decorator, youth pastor, and all-around renaissance man who knows a little bit about  everything.  He's been known to make 6 foot long subs in a shop modified 'Franken-oven', and after late night installations make midnight runs to Dinosaur BBQ with fellow foodie, Chris Clemans.  He just got married over the summer. Now, he and his wife Katie are the resident dog food brokers and pre vet visit advisors to the staff here. 

He's probably the guy you will meet once your kitchen is ready to be installed.

Carolyn Clemans

Carolyn is the back office manager and computer specialist.  Her main goal is to give enough support to everyone else to allow them to operate without her around!  She loves to travel with Chris and hopes to have a sunflower farm some day.

Ben Sulikowski

Cabinet Maker

Ben has worked at CabFab since the initial renovation of the building began in 2005.  He has done everything imaginable here from cabinet making and installation to rehabbing an old building to diagnosing and repairing machinery.  He loves music and snowboarding, and has perhaps the best ipod music collection in the world!

Erin Anderson

Production Assistant

Erin came to us as a design intern while she was finishing her Interior Design degree at Cazenovia College.  She discovered she was as good with the tools in the shop as she was with the design tools.  The lamp hanging above Erin in the photo was desgned and built by our super star!

Mykhailo Gotra

Cabinet Maker

Mykhailo has been with CabFab a relatively short time - since November 2009, but he has become an important part of the production team.  He came to us through a program that trained refugees to help them get jobs after coming here from Ukraine.  He had great woodworking skills already, and has become the door-maker extraordinaire!  He is meticulous, and is very hard working.  He likes to laugh, and is learning english as we sit around the lunch table.  Hopefully we are a good influence on his language skills!
