I spent my college years in the 1960's on a meandering path of exploration through many majors, searching for one the could keep my interest. I eventually landed in Theatre where I learned to design, build and light stage sets. After college, my creative needs were challenged staging productions for a regional California theatrical company.

The birth of my daughter turned my attention towards support of my family. Rather than move into the larger world of unionized theatre, I took a 30+ year diversion into creating abstract work - computer software.

Seeking a way to return to producing more concrete works, I have combined a lifelong interest in "puttering out in the garage" with the visual aspects of the theatre. My tools are those common to metal fabrication shops: saws, shear, brake, torch, plasma cutter, welder, drill press, grinder, blast cabinet, and spray booth.

While I have had no formal in art education and no training in metal fabrication, my experience in the theatre and the garage provide with the skills which I am constantly expanding through experimentation with designs and process.
