In 2000 after retiring from 33 years in the defense computer industry, I became passionate about what had previously been a hobby: wood turning. I attended Cerritos College to improve my skills. This experience allowed me to improve, to the point that I could translate my artistic desires into reality. I enjoy the many hours that I am allowed to spend in my shop. It is my intention to create pieces of art that will provide enjoyment for those that purchase my work. I truly appreciate the opportunity to do what has been a lifelong dream of mine.
