_While I have always been a "creative dreamer", I was never PASSIONATE about any of the previous mediums that I have worked in.

I stumbled upon glass fusing in 1993 when I friend of mine introduced me to the medium - I was immediately smitten!

For the past 17 years I have been honing my skills, continuously challenging myself  in the areas of design and technical excellence.  Along the way I have become quite skillful at carving rock and machining steel in an effort to refine my work and move it to ever higher levels.

Publicly, I enjoy sharing my art with folks and seeing the smiles that it brings to their faces - that is my true measure of success.
