I like to experiment, and do so in a controlled fashion, so my pots usually evolve slowly - until that next burst of inspiration comes along. When that happens, I usually can be found in my studio late into the night, for weeks at a time, happily enjoying the brief visit from the ever-illusive muse. The sleep deprivation is worth it.

With the exception of the odd workshop, conversation with other potters, and some fantastic workshops at the fine Bemis School of Art in Colorado Springs, I am largely self-taught. My bachelors and master's degrees are in the social science and business disciplines - it was only after graduate school that I discovered pottery, and I'm glad I did. I pursue my art and run my pottery as an avocation - my "day job" is as an executive with firms such as Ford, SunMicrosystems, Vail Resorts, and Avaya - and that affords me the luxury of being able to experiment as I please. Thank you very much for your interest in my work.
