When the Gallery cooperative
formed in 1980, I was a young man of 20 working
in the lumber yard that all the woodworkers frequented. I looked
up to these furniture
makers who were expressing themselves through the designs they
created and the wood they bought. Five years after that, I participated
in my first group show. Four years later, I became a member. This
cooperative effort has allowed me the privilege of pursuing my
goals and making a career of it. I’ve drawn challenges and
inspiration from my colleagues, and I am proud to have them as
partners and friends. |

The life of a craftsman is
not easy, but it’s what I asked for! Blending material and
design to form beautiful and functional objects has been my desire
since I was a small boy. I have a deep respect for the woods I
work with, and I am continually amazed by the beauty that nature
provides. The essence of creation is the proper balance between
the design, the process and the material. This is what I strive
for in the work I do.
