As an artist, I sculpt unique furniture that people can enjoy in their everyday lives. I choose to work in solid wood because it is a versatile, durable, renewable resource, with a friendly presence. Furniture making incorporates the meticulousness of machining and the artistry of sculpting.

I began my career studying fine furniture design and construction with the Jeffrey Greene Design Studio in 1989. His award-winning program taught me to incorporate each element as an integral part of the design of the whole. This approach contributes to my work as I attempt to showcase the beauty of wood in each original piece I create.

Following the apprenticeship, I worked for two high-end cabinetry/furniture shops in New Hope, Pennsylvania and in Bethesda, Maryland. My work included a wide variety of items: from Park Avenue penthouse suite renovations; to pews at the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.; to 1700s-era farmhouse restorations. During this time I was also designing and building my own fine furniture in my spare time.
