"Although I am a relatively new wood artist I have always had a love of natural objects and the environment in which they flourish. Growing up on a cattle ranch in Florida I spent much of my time in the woods with my father and uncles. I began working with my hands at a young age building models then crafting fine furniture and cabinetry. With an education in drafting and design, a career in commercial photography, I have always needed a creative artistic outlet. Woodturning seems to have put this all together for me. I am always inspired by what I may find in a piece of wood that will allow me to create something for others to enjoy".
