I currently reside in Missoula Montana, and have recently decamped from my position as Studio Manager of The Clay Studio of Missoula to pursue my own studio practice. In general, the most satisfying moments of my life have been spent making things, or sharing a laugh with the people who happen to be around me, it never really mattered who. When I was little, my friends and I spent countless hours building dirt jumps for our bikes, and later, when we were big enough to manipulate power tools, we transitioned to making wooden ramps and to this day I maintain that ramp building is among the highest order of human endeavors.
