In his own words……”as a designer and craftsman, my approach is to build furniture that evokes inspiration in myself and others. I am intrigued with simple shapes and forms and manipulating both materials and space to create my designs. I work mainly with metal and wood and find other materials to be intriguing. I fabricate each piece of furniture in my studio where I have the capabilities to weld, work with wood, paint, powder coat, and sandblast to execute my designs. As I look back on my sixteen years of building furniture I have only now realized that being able to combine metal, wood, and other materials is the very singular trait that sets my furniture apart from the ordinary. When I look at my work I am inspired to keep exploring and creating simple yet functional furniture that continues to place an emphasis on design and quality blended with function.”
