I have spent the majority of my life dedicated to the creation of things. It began with music and has transcended over the years into many other genres of art.

My stained glass designs focus on color, texture, shape, and form resulting in unique one-of-kind art, ranging from finished custom framed pieces and refurbished antique windows to smaller window hangings.

I’ve been taking photos since I was a kid when my mom gave me an old point and shoot camera.  I remember taking photos of sky and cloud formations and somehow trying to capture my imagination on film.  That same fascination with nature and the intimate beauty that surrounds us inspires much of my photography today.

Music has been a passion for as long as I can remember. It began with making up senseless little songs and trying to write them down in some form to earning a M.A. in music composition.  My first obsession was the guitar, over time the banjo and other stringed instruments found there way into my hands. My present obsession has become the violin.  I have always strived to create my own voice with my instruments and compositions. The Maple Trio, Blueprintmusic, and my solo work demonstrate my collaborations with other amazingly gifted musicians.
