I began making pottery in middle school.  After an 18 year hiatus, I once again began working with clay.  I love to throw and to sculpt.  Mostly, I love the feel of the clay in my hands, I love to see what the gods of the kiln help me to create.  I am grateful for the opportunity to share my work with others.  Please enjoy browsing my space. 

I also practice as a nurse practitioner.  I love that I have a creative outlet to help feed my soul.  Your support of my work is so very much appreciated.  Additionally, I train and compete in triathlons.  In May of 2008, I completed my second Olympic length event and my sixth triathlon.  I am very blessed to have amazing supporters, including my wonderful wife of 16 years,  Elisabeth.
