Gotta start somewhere.

You found your way here, which means you probably are pretty interested in learning some new skills. Thanks for finding me! My day job these days is officially ‘studio artist’, but I get a lot of enjoyment by empowering people with all kinds of skills. I’ve been teaching metalsmithing and jewelry (and sculpture, and design!) since 1999. I have learned so much about teaching, about people, and about how people learn through my years as an instructor and a craftsperson. I’m happy to say my teaching skills have recently expanded; I’m certified to teach Basic Firearm Safety—pistol shooting—which will get you your License to Carry here in the great state of Massachusetts. I’m also very interested in sharing my knowledege in motorcycle driving, tractor operation, and of course my expertise, metalsmithing and jewelry. Send me a note-let’s see what we can cook up!
