I'm a furniture designer / maker and design instructor, working in wood, metal and glass. Self taught in almost everything. Built my own glass kiln and Glass blowing studio.

I was taking stuff apart as soon as I could hold a screwdriver. I did a ground up restoration/customization of a VW bug when I was 18 including paint and bodywork. Now I get creative with my furniture and home (self built for under $30 000 so far)

First Job was a gas jockey, second was a car detailer, third was a woodworker. Quit the woodworking job and started independent at 25. still going strong.

I have two bright orange 70's Auranthetic Charger electric minicycles which offset the crappy mileage I get from my otherwise beloved Toyota Previa

"The Golden Egg" is why I'm here
