I started my journey in blacksmithing in 1984 and started running the shop as a part time business in 1990.  After retiring from a 27 year carrier as a professional firefighter in 2014 I picked up my hammer full time.  Today I specialize in making tools and hardware for wood workers.  At the same time I have started to share my 30 plus years of experience with newer blacksmiths by way of YouTube.  The fascination of forging hot iron never goes away.  In the future i hope to explore many additional avenues in the world of blacksmithing.
