I was one of those kids who never stopped drawing after kindergarten.

I attended the University of Illinois from 1966 to 1970 as a fine arts major and attended art classes at California State University in 1972 and apprenticed with goldsmith Carla Boyle from 1973 to 1974.

I have been self-employed as a goldsmith and sculptor since 1974. My work is in collections throughout the United States, including jewelry pieces made for pianist Peter Kater, singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg, and ski film pioneer Warren Miller.

In conjunction with John Haertling Studios in Boulder, I sculpted several bronze portions of awards for the U.S. Olympic Committee. Copies of these awards were given to President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore.

I realized a life-long dream when I recently visited the Louvre, d’Orsay, Rodin, l’Orangerie, and Picasso museums in Paris. I also spent some quality time with Vermeer and Rembrandt at the Riksmuseum in Amsterdam.
