I grew up in the small, beautiful upstate New York village of Millerton and have been making art since childhood. As a kid I spent a lot of time outdoors and nature plays a large role in my art. After enjoying the privilege of five years of Architecture school I moved to California and co-founded a computer company that published CD-ROMs, a valuable but somewhat wasteful time in my life. This was followed by years of sculpting steel in Colorado and more years of travel including six months upon the sea as a volunteer for a marine conservation society that was one of the most fulfilling periods of my life. I have been living and working in New York, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom for the last five years. My sculpture is my grounding and provides rigour for my body and riddles for my mind. My pieces are included in private collections around the globe. 2006 marks my eleventh year of working with steel.
