About.

My journey began in small artisanal glasshouses, where I had the privilege of apprenticing under some of the finest glass craftsmen in the U.S., reinforcing and refining my technical skills in material manipulation. This foundation led me to pursue formal studies in glass at the university level, where I first began to explore the broader potential and alternative functions of this material. At a crossroads between academia and industry, I chose the latter, stepping into some of the last remaining American glass factories, where I served as Master Craftsman, product developer, and designer. I started on the factory floor, and by the end of my tenure, I was building glass factories from the ground up—designing infrastructure, processes, and pushing the boundaries of handmade glass manufacturing.

Now, after two decades in the mechanized world of mass production and thousands of tons of melted material, I find myself returning to a more intimate practice. With a humble crucible and a focus on precious molten glass, I am free to explore its raw potential, creating objects that stand in stark contrast to my industrial career, embracing the unpredictable and the organic in a way that is both personal and experimental.
