Tell us...

A little about yourself (i.e. what town you live in, where you grew up, family members, pets, occupation, etc…)? I am a 62 year old retiree. Prior to retiring, I was a Union Sheetmetal Worker. Shortly after I retired, I took up the stained glass art form. It wasn’t long until it was obvious that the scope of the projects I was involved in were pushing me toward a business venture. Away went part of the house, and up came the store. The business has grown every year. I sell supplies & teach but my real love are liturgical compositions.

What are your hobbies besides glass? It’s no longer a hobby.

Favorite glass quote or saying and why? An old sheetmetal worker adage, “measure twice, cut once”.

What you love about glass? The magic it produces when in the presence of light.

Where you sell your glass? At my store.

Any publications where you’ve been featured (if applicable)? Eastside Herald Newspaper.
