I was born and raised in the Central Valley of California to an farming family. At an early age, I was instilled with the value of hard work. At at early age, I learned that a farmer's life is not 9-5, rather sun up to completion of tasks. This is a work ethic that I carry to this day.
Music has been a lifelong passion of mine. I've been playing a musical instrument of some kind since i was 8 years old. I've always been drawn the the creativity of sound. I joined my first band in highschool and have been playing in one band or another ever since.
I've always been an artist and a maker so when I was introduced to the art of glass blowing I was hooked! I loved it so much I made it a career for 20 years. Its the perfect combination of technique and vision.
