I grew up in my dads blacksmith studio and have been forging since I was 8. After high school I attended an art school and majored in media arts. "Media" being mostly advertising and entertainment media. Doing well in the school I came back home and was made partner in the family blacksmithing business. My full time job is working for the family business making the projects that come through. They are mostly for high end homes in the ski areas of Colorado like railings, chandeliers, Doors for fireplaces, door hardware, the list goes on. At the studio we focus mostly on hand forged items. It is not a welding shop where we order pieces and slap them together, yet we make everything and most of the time use traditional techniques like riveting, collars, forge welds, etc. I do use modern tools like welders and grinders but dont rely on them much. I am also in charge of the advertising side of the business and photography.

Things shown here are the fun, smaller projects that I sell on the side. Using boards like Deviant Art Im hoping to meet other artists and start getting myself out there.

Feel free to ask any questions about how I do what I do. More than happy to talk about it. Thanks again if you are still reading lol

How do I know my youth is all spent?
My get-up-and-go has got up and went!
But, in spite of it all, I’m able to grin
And think of the places my getup has been!
