My interest in Blacksmithing began while working with my grandfather. I have been forging for 18 years in Virginia. My early training in Blacksmithing was mentored by the Tidewater Blacksmithing Guild. As an artist-blacksmith, I began my apprenticeship in Colonial Williamsburg. My specialty is museum quality 18th-century reproductions. I love to share my passion for Blacksmithing with the next generation. I teach children and adults.
