Meet Your Instructor: Doug Hill
A master craftsman with over 40 years of woodworking experience, Doug Hill comes from three generations of carpenters and has dedicated his life to working with wood—first as a contractor, now as the founder of Grayhill Woodworking, where he creates handcrafted pieces from reclaimed materials.
For the past 8 years, Doug has also shared his passion as a full-time Woodworking and Applied Engineering teacher at Flex School in Berkeley Heights, NJ, guiding students ages 8–18 in hands-on craftsmanship. A local NJ native, he’s background-checked, fingerprinted, and committed to fostering creativity in a safe, supportive environment.
"I love helping students discover the joy of building something with their own hands—it’s about skill, patience, and celebrating the unique beauty of wood." ~ Doug
