I enjoy making things with my hands. After receiving a M.F.A. (acronym for Mighty Fine Attendance) in sculpture from Ohio State. While jewelry has been my livelihood for thirty years, I have also worked with photography and other art forms. Recently I had the good fortune to establish a studio where I can weld sculpture, fabricate jewelry, and do photography.

In jewelry, I fabricate using sheet and wire and also cast using the lost wax method, including a process that allows me to cast a three-dimensional form from a photograph or drawing. I work in both gold and silver and like to add nontraditional metals such as antique square nails.

The only message in my work is an unconventional but rational approach to beauty utilizing the inherent properties of the material.

Recently I married my childhood sweethart, Cleo, and moved to live with her and her family outside Salt Lake City.
