Biography
Residing in east Hardy County, WV, I work from a rural studio near Mathias, WV. I have been designing and building since my apprenticeships in the early and mid 1980’s. I design and create furniture and sculptural work from wood and metal. My style has an Eastern Shaker influence that is found in the subtle curves, free-edge planks, and refined details. The joinery is the time honored mortise and tenon which is used though out these pieces, along with a great deal of thought to allow for seasonal expansion. The materials are primarily Eastern Hardwoods, and many are locally grown in my eastern West Virginia region. The sculptural work embraces a more whimsical and playful direction, yet is inspired by the tools and talents of the craftsman and women who have come before me. I also design studios, additions and other structures and custom-designed pieces.
