He calls Northwest Arkansas home and currently resides in Northeast Oklahoma, just across the Arkansas line or as he likes to say "A stones throw away.". He was an avid art student through out his time in school and could be found doodling at practically any given moment in time. When asked by his shop trades teacher if he would volunteer some time to help with artwork and production of several leaded stained glass windows he said yes. After this project was completed the owner of the stained glass studio in Siloam Springs, AR called him one day offering a job at her studio. He accepted and there began his voyage in learning this centuries old trade. Fast forward to today and he has learned many advanced glass working techniques. One of his primary goals is to impart his knowledge to other established artisan's, encouraging those that want to go further than their practice of glass work being just for themselves and their friends but instead to try and make a living doing what they love. He enjoys talking to and encouraging the young generation of artisan's to help encourage them to follow their dreams.
