I’ve
been involved in designing and building furniture more
than 20 years. I have formal training in architecture,
culminating in a master’s degree from Virginia Tech
in 1971, and I’ve studied with several woodworking
mentors. Most important, though, is my passionate interest
in all aspects of fine woodworking and design which I
have intensely studied on my own and which led me to pursue
the art of handcrafted furniture as a full-time occupation
since1999.
I
give equal emphasis to craftsmanship, design and selection
of the finest materials available. My finished works
are characterized by an uncluttered, organic flow of
lines and shapes. My designs are intended to transcend
the dictates of any particular school or style and to
be intrinsically appealing on the strength of their
roots in time-honored principles of form and proportion.
