Where my first career in Engineering was born of necessity, my second was born from the desire to create. My extensive travels and nature's bounty inspire my creative process. Each original begins with a hand-crafted base of American or exotic woods, their names evoking memories of the places that continue to inspire me. I use reed, cane and natural elements to create only one unique piece. The final finishing preserves the integrity of the piece and transforms it into an heirloom.
