As a small child the notion of creating fun things out of basic materials always caught
my interest.  This interest grew over the years.  In college, I knew I would have to find
a field of study that would allow me to continue this love of design and fabrication.       
                           
After receiving my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Metalsmithing, I was invited to join two
friends in Florida who had a small jewelry design studio.  I knew then I found my
niche. During that time, I explored many different aspects of metalsmithing.  I feel that
I really grew as a designer.

Since then, I have been teaching silversmithing, helping students tap into their "inner
metalsmith".  My students are always amazed at their hidden abilities.  Currently, I
work from my own studio, creating original work for my private clients.  I have also
been involved in manufacturing and mass production.  I develop jewelry lines for
specialty products.
