Few things are as exciting as watching molten glass take form — except getting to watch someone experience it for the first time.

​

After more than 20 years of blowing glass, it still feels fresh. I began in high school and have trained with some of the most respected glassblowers in the country, including Ben Moore, Dale Chihuly and Richard Royal.

​

But it’s my students who have become some of my greatest teachers. They’ve made me a better communicator, a lover of the little things, and reminded me to follow my passions.

My wife/creative partner and I revel in the eclectic life we’ve built with our two boys here in Naples, Oregon as our summertime happy place, and plenty of adventuring in between.
