About Me 

Recently shown on ABC's The List for unique Beer Bottle Glass Ornaments. 

Art has always been an interest of mine but it has never come forth as a major part of my life until I found glass. My relationship with glass began as an outlet during my undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering. Quickly, I found myself waiting for Wednesdays to come around when I would get a break from that pesky 'degree' and get back into the glass blowing studio. Now glass consumes much of my time. A day that isn't spent sketching new designs, blowing glass in the hot shop, or grinding and finishing pieces is rare.

About the Glass

Glass is a medium that has no regard for the artist. The artist stands only feet from the furnace where the glass, as hot as lava, will be gathered onto the end of a blow pipe in hopes of creating a piece of art to convey an idea or message. With a moment too long of hesitation or a misplaced thought anywhere in the creation process, the glass will rebel against its artist and fail. It is then up to the artist and his assistants to shape the glass, breathe life into it and coax it into the final shape; turning an idea into a reality.
