Shannon McIntyre

Shannon McIntyre was raised in southern Rhode Island in a town teeming with craftspeople. It turns out that ‘McIntyre’ means son-of-the- carpenter, and so assuming she was destined for the chisel, she applied for an apprenticeship at Heartwood in 2011. Her love of timber framing was solidified here, and the following year, she started working at TimberHomes Vermont, a cooperative framing company where she's worked continuously ever since. She became an owner at TimberHomes in 2016.

Shannon has taught timber framing in North Carolina, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Costa Rica, and at the Yestermorrow school. Shannon lives with her family in Montpelier, Vermont with her partner Alec, their two young children, and their dog, Chancho the Irresistible.
