"Since early childhood I've done my growing in the woods or whatever sort of 'shop' I could create for myself. The culmination of my skills and passions came together when I was introduced to knife-maker Preston Roberts, a master craftsman and educator, who later became a mentor and friend. I was so blessed to have that opportunity and I am still growing with it today. It's a passion and a dream come true to be spending my time devoted to my craft, working with my hands and creative spirit to produce highly functional art."
