Technically trained in industrial welding and metal fabrication, most of my skills were aquired in a metal fabrication shop specializing in functional and decorative architectural elements and furniture.  Prior to this, I had acquired skills in woodworking, jewelry, and leaded glass design and fabrication.  After being involved in various one of a kind projects,  I began to experiment in the shop.  I wanted to build furniture of my own design, without limitations in materials or workmanship.  I wanted to create objects that were alluring, something that draws you in close and doesn't disappoint - like jewelry on a larger scale.
