I started making knives about 1989 and began to hang out with the wrong crowd (American Bladesmith Society members) shortly afterwards.

I make one-of-a-kind knives with simple, clean lines. My specialties are Bowies, camp knives, utility knives, personal knives and the occasional folder. Each of my knives is a part of me and has a soul of its own. I do not make fantasy pieces. All my knives must be functional tools for work or pleasure. I realize that some customers do not intend to use my pieces, but they won't live forever and their heirs might use them.
