I use traditional joinery techniques, often using tools similar to those found in woodshops two hundred years ago. Many of my tools are antiques. For my finishes I use shellac, buying the flakes and mixing them myself. I even use the same glues whenever possible.

I hold a masters degree in furniture from the Rhode Island School of Design, after which I apprenticed with Tage Frid, my Instructor at RISD. I have had my shop for eighteen years, with sixteen of them at the Bristol location. The history, the techniques, the different woods and the challenge of making each piece as accurate as possible is my ultimate goal.
