My journey to becoming a professional furniture maker began on a Combat Outpost in Iraq in 2008 and continued through my graduation from North Bennet Street School in Boston in 2012. Since that time I have pursued a career in woodworking woven through the studio and contract furniture worlds. Today, I live and work in Concord, NH building pieces that express my love for nature, natural forms and natural materials. I focus on unlocking the beauty of wood and other materials through thoughtful sculptural forms that blend hard lines and soft curves in unique and unusual ways. I find profound joy in crafting something with my hands. The process of creation - from conception to design to actualization - brings with it both intense struggle and reward. A great piece brought to fruition is at once a relief and the beginning of a beautiful conversation with those who live and interact with it.
