Chip Scholz

Chip describes himself simply as a man with a lathe, a pocketknife, and a few stories.

Over the course of a long career in business and coaching, he’s come to see that the moments that shape a life rarely arrive with fanfare. They show up quietly—in family conversations, unexpected detours, and even in a woodshop, shaping a piece of maple.

His work explores how those small moments accumulate over time, changing how we see, how we live, and eventually what we’re willing to let go of.

Those reflections come together in his book, Every Dog Has Its Day, a collection of stories about life, craft, and the decisions that quietly shape who we become.
