The Austrian-born Ferdinand Steyer comes from a long line of master carpenters and was told from a young age that he was destined to carry on the family business in Austria. However, after falling in love with America, Steyer decided to pass the traditions of his family onto his cousin and set his sights on moving to the United States permanently. By 1982, Steyer started his first design company in Connecticut, where he worked alongside some of the most prominent architects in the country. After selling his initial company and working in the corporate world for a few years, Steyer started Mountain Works LLC in 2000. Since then, Steyer enjoys working on the smaller projects he undertakes because they allow him to be on the job site everyday, practicing his craft and making sure that everything runs smoothly.
