For as long as I can remember I have had a burning interest in the visual arts. My mother was an accomplished painter and art teacher who nurtured my creative side from an early age. Throughout my childhood I intently observed my mom’s creative process and realized the same creativity existed within me. As early as high school and later in college I studied studio art and art history with a concentration in photography. It was here I experimented with different mediums and began to see the world with a critical eye.

After graduating from the College of Santa Fe, I found work in a cabinet shop where I spent the next several years learning machine skills and efficient production techniques.

In 1999 I sought out an apprenticeship through the California Contemporary Craft Association. I spent the following year working with master craftsman, David J. Marks, soaking up as much knowledge as I could. By the end of the year, I realized I had only scratched the surface of the woodworking craft. I left inspired and eager to pursue a budding career.

Today, I design and build fine furniture and custom cabinetry one project at a time ensuring thoughtful execution and the utmost attention to detail. With each project I strive to achieve a balance between the function required by civilization and the beauty inherent in nature. The result, I hope, are furnishings that are both beautiful and comfortable to live with.
