A hands-on maker from central Ohio, I began crafting lamps, trophies, and plaques for friends and family long before the pandemic nudged me into furniture design; with help from my daughter and her eye for design, what started as pieces for my own home quickly expanded to creations for others, and now I’m bringing that passion into the world under a collection named after some of my favorite neighborhoods. Driven by practicality, craftsmanship, and a bold love of design, I treat each project—whether a custom lamp or a handcrafted table—as a chance to blend function with personality. When I’m not in the shop shaping wood and metal, you’ll likely find me tinkering with cars, always exploring the next idea to build, refine, and share.
