My current work encompasses a broad range of functionally decorative architectural applications. I utilize a coalition of traditional forge work and modern welding, forming and cutting techniques. My philospphy leans heavily on function and simplicity of style. Often though, I'm challenged by clients to stretch and go beyond the traditional.

I'm continuously fascinated by how iron can transfer with hammer and anvil from plain, structural shapes into organic, sometimes life-like figures that reveal textures planned and unplanned. Working with a variety of patinas and finishes brings the final life of a piece into full focus

I work by myself (mostly) in a relatively small shop on a beautiful piece of land nestled on the eastern slopes of the North Cascade Mountains. I love what I do and hope you enjoy what you see here.

This website reflects a small portion of my work. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I welcome your inquiries.
