As a small boy I woke up to the wonder of wood as I ran my hands through the saw dust covering the surface of a hutch being made by a friend's grandfather. The amazement that wood could feel so soft and alive followed me throughout my life.
I have worked with wood and the tools that people use to create wood wonder in everything from the most ordinary to the most extraordinary. Workshops are a community that have been an integral and comforting part of my life - ranging from high school woodshop to consulting with major manufacturers in the workshops of industry.
The learning from the trees themselves and the specific tools of this craft taught me to create a dwelling place and gave me insight into the architecture of wood.
I continue exploring, still finding solace in touching and being with the wood in the creative process. The wonder of the feels, the smells and the sounds of the wood as it changes is what I hope to give each person who interacts with my work.
