2002 I celebrate my 30th year Blowing Glass. In Europe were I began there is a twenty year apprenticeship before one sits at the Masters workbench. There are no exceptions. I have made my living and maintained a glass studio solely on the income I have generated from selling my original works of glass at more shows and exhibits than I can list here. Over the last thirty years I have researched the lost techniques of the glass masters of antiquity and developed techniques unique to my glasswork. As a Master Glassblower I feel the work I produce today is comparable to that made any where in the world. Over the last 30 years I have produced between 10 to 14 tons of Art Glass a year, this translates into millions of one of a kind signed piece in collections world wide with a large local following.
