Born and raised in Portland, ME, I was always inspired by the way things work, and solving the problem of how to fit them together. A blacksmithing and welding class launched me into the craft of metalworking, that I continued on my own at The Open Bench Project makerspace. A passion for bladesmithing lead me to study under many talented smiths and with a desire for more detailed work. This bloomed into a jewelry apprenticeship and a love for goldsmithing and gemcraft. Now as a jeweler, bladesmith, engraver, and gem-cutter, I maintain a strong appetite for the skills to accomplish finer and finer work. I appreciate greatly the chance to push myself in making you a piece that you will value for the rest of your life+
