My work combines two lifelong passions, science and woodworking. After a long career as a chemist, I now focus on making things from the beautiful Appalachian woods we are blessed with here in Central Virginia.

In my solar powered studio, you will see a variety of functional accessories for office and home, such as furniture, cutting and serving boards, pepper mills, clocks, cutlery, jewelry boxes, ink pens, magic wands…

I also love making purely decorative pieces. These include wall art and lathe-turned sculpture. The world of wood and resin hybrids continues to fascinate. These combine the beauty of wood with modern, colorful polymer technology. I continue to explore the use of the laser both for decoration and to augment traditional woodworking techniques.
