Q: How long have you been a glass artist?
A:I started in 2008 in Colorado. I moved back to my home town in Illinois in 2011 and began working in the scientific glass field for a few years and back to artistic glass.

Q: How did you start?
A: I first started by buying a cheap torch head and worked on a balcony in Frisco Colorado. It was a beautiful spot but not very practical. I then got an apprenticeship with ''Rone Glass'' in Denver. I worked with him for a year, where I learned all the fundamentals that have become the foundation of my career.

Q: What is your favorite style/ technique to use?
A: If I had to choose my favorite styles, I love wigwags, honeycombs and flip-disks

Q: What other glass artists are your favorite(s)?
A: I admire the work of Schmitz Glass , Rone Glass and Rosburg Glass.
