About Me

About Me My work with metal is rooted in tradition, but never limited by it. I am a second-generation blacksmith, raised around the trade from an early age. My father was a farrier, and through him I developed an appreciation for the skill, patience, and understanding of material that good metalwork demands. I have also worked in construction since I was very young, giving me a practical understanding of how things are built, how they need to fit, and what it takes to make an idea work in the real world. My training has taken me across Europe, where I have had the opportunity to study and work with craftsmen in England, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for classical techniques and the traditions behind them, while also shaping the way I approach modern projects. Blacksmithing is my primary passion, but it is only one part of what I do. I am proficient in welding, fabrication, manual machining, and the many other skills that go into creating a finished piece of work. I enjoy being involved in every stage of a project—from the first measurements and initial design, through fabrication and assembly, to finish work and final installation. Much of my design work begins the old-fashioned way: with a pencil and paper. I believe there is something valuable about taking the time to work through an idea by hand before turning it into steel. My goal is to combine old-fashioned craftsmanship and proven techniques with a modern eye for design and function. I take pride in doing clean, precise work that fits well and looks right. Whether the project is simple or highly detailed, I believe the finished product should feel intentional—not just functional, but thoughtfully made. Just as importantly, I believe the process should be straightforward for the customer. I value clear communication, honest expectations, and fair pricing. From the first conversation to the final installation, my goal is to make sure you understand what is being built, why it is being built that way, and what it will cost. Every project is an opportunity to build something that will last. Traditional methods. Modern ideas. Built by hand.
