I started drawing and working with wood as a child and would sometimes accompany my dad to the university engineering department he ran to hang out in the labs and shops there. This all sparked my creative imagination early on and was the true beginning of what would become a lifetime of designing and making. After graduating high school in Rochester, Michigan in 1979, I was hired by a small woodworking shop nearby until I ventured out on my own and started my own studio in 1981. 

In now my 42nd year of practice, I’ve long realized that innovative objects properly refined yield the most elegant and desirable results. My furniture has been exhibited twice at the Detroit Institute of Arts, also El Museo Del Barrio in New York and has been featured in the Cooper Hewitt’s National Design Museum Latino Hispanic Archive.

I apply the highest standards of design, woodworking, ergonomics and finishing techniques that have helped me cultivate a singular yet international style and clientele. I spend most of my time developing and creating functional decorative objects and furniture pieces in my studio in Michigan. Over a career as a full time professional designer and craftsman, I’ve been blessed to develop a following throughout the country and around the world, with work across the US, Canada, Mexico, France, England, Australia and New Zealand, and certainly many others and have amassed an extensive “A” list of internationally known people and corporations as customers.
