I grew up on a small scale farm in rural Georgia, learning more about the art of work than works of art. Through years of farming, welding, equipment repair, and woodworking, I developed a deep respect for the tools used to build and fix everything around, and then began collecting those tools. The need for a way to display tools led to making decorative frames to hang on the wall. This interest in displaying tools then became a desire to display anything interesting. From kitchen utensils to hand forged chains to rusty barbed wire, each piece of history is displayed in its own steel frame, or transformed into useful items such as coat/wine racks, lamps, planters, and tables. I enjoy designing/building custom furniture using a combination of steel/wood that creates sturdy, attractive pieces that will last a lifetime. I enjoy collecting antique tools and playing traditional songs both of which I share a deep respect for the importance of preserving the antiquity of everyday life.
