Sleep Til Youre Dead didn't happen overnight. Brendan spent 13 years as an architectural design consultant & residential framer before leaving his career to persue woodworking. Over 7 years he worked with hundreds of clients over Canada and the USA, shipping over 700 handmade beds from his shop into every state and province across two countries.

......Then it was time for a change.

He closed his previous business, OPPOSITEHAND Design Inc. and from its ashes arose "Sleep Til Your Dead". The business is meant to be fun, and not all too serious. After his mothers sudden passing in her sleep it changed Brendans outlook on life.

The new name is as much a philosophy as it is a business - live a life with meaning, because you might not wake up tomorrow. His goal is to live a harmoneous balanced life, focussed on health and little stress. Running much less a business but persuing his form of creativity. For that reason he no longer employs other woodworkers - he restricts his intake and connects with his craft in a way that provides value in all walks of his life. He lives on a large acreadge outside of the city in BC Canada where they work with canines in need. He is accompanied by atelast 3 dogs everywhere he goes.
