Biography

I grew up in Pittsburg, Kansas, and became interested in jewelry design after taking an introductory class with Marjorie Schick at Pittsburg State University. 

Shortly after, I transfered to the University of Kansas, where I studied with Jon Havener and Lin Stanionis.  I graduated with a B.A. in metalsmithing and jewelry design in 2006.

I currently live in Lawrence, Kansas, with my wife Meryl, and two dogs Porterhouse and Moe.
