The Creed
01

I don't polish out the hammer marks.

The mark is the proof.

02

Fire is my first collaborator.

Steel decides its own character.

03

Every commission starts with a conversation about what survives.

Function without apology.

04

I work alone. The anvil keeps time.

No shortcuts in the strike.

The Maker

One person. One forge.
No shortcuts.

I started forging in a rented garage with a borrowed hammer and a coal forge I built from a brake drum and salvaged pipe. Fourteen years later the shop is mine, but the approach hasn't changed: every piece is made by hand, every mark is intentional, and nothing leaves until it's right.

I work in steel, copper, and bronze. I take commissions for architectural hardware, interior sculpture, and functional art. I also write about process — because the knowledge that kept me from ruining expensive metal should be freely available to anyone willing to stand in front of a hot fire.

“The hammer mark is not a flaw. It is evidence of a human decision made at temperature.”
