I started making stained glass after college to fill extra time, and have enjoyed the hobby for over 40 years. I have made about 100 pieces, and given almost all away for family, friends, gift exhanges and more, keeping only 5 pieces for myself


Outside of making, I am retired from my career in mechanical engineering, information technology, and medical devices. My hobbies include fly fishing, fly tying, bicycling, travel, woodworking, metalworking, gardening, and, of course, stained glass!
