"I call it like I see it...it's art. It's crazy. And it comes from my head.

I wish it were as easy as a few doodles coming together into sculptures of twisted metal and carved wood. However, each sculptural piece takes a good deal of planning and preparation to achieve functionality, whimsicality, and interactivosity. I use plasma cutters, welders, grinders, torches, drills, saws, and jigs galore all to create unique sculptures and furniture that look as if they have sprung straight from the imagination.
