I have always loved working with my hand and making things. It’s something I attribute to my father who worked in the furniture industry. He was the kind of man who could build or fix just about anything. He instilled in me a do-it-yourself attitude. The countless hours spent at his side building, repairing, and tinkering are some of my most precious memories.

My experience working with a sculptor and later, a job with a local fabricator allowed me to learn the many skills needed to work effectively with wood and metals.

As a practical human being, I hate to see anything going into a landfill that can be repurposed into something useful. Many of the fabrication jobs I have designed and installed have made heavy use of repurposed materials.
