Welcome to Rich Foa Creations.
The contents of this website are the result of the decision I made in 2010 to leave the field of clinical neurology and the practice of medicine where I had spent the preceding thirty- seven years of my life. Neurology had absorbed virtually all of my attention until then. I began my transition as a student at the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Pt. Hadlock, WA, one of fifty-some students of varying ages and backgrounds with a shared commitment to craftsmanship and creativity. I have not looked back. And I hope that as you visit this website you will share in the delight that I have found as a maker and as a writer.
The launch of the boat that I constructed with boat school classmates in August of 2011 marked the beginning of my new career in wood art.
