Keith Uphold was born and raised in Kingwood, WV (Preston County) and still lives in Kingwood with his wife Hope where they own and operate Legacy Woodworking & CNC, LLC. With over 20 years in the manufacturing industry Keith believes in the simplicity of hard work, integrity and honesty; that each one of us has a purpose and each one of us will leave a “Legacy”. It’s up to us as to what that “Legacy” will be. Woodworking has been a passion for some time as Keith loves to create and design and has grown that passion into a full-time business. Legacy specializes in custom, handcrafted goods as well as personalized projects produced utilizing a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine. His wife and he are active members of Anchor Church in Friendsville, MD where they serve as youth leaders. They have a strong desire to pour into the next generation.
