Stoutenborough was raised in a small farming town in Illinois, where he dreamed of becoming a carpenter. Following the advice of his father, he pursued a degree in business administration. Later in his career, he and his wife, Mary, decided to travel across the United States by volunteering with Habitat for Humanity and they helped build more than 30 homes for the nonprofit organization. After retiring in Boulder City, Stoutenborough honed his carving skills and will share his approach to carving 3-D figurines.
