My studio is located in Easthampton Massachusetts on the third floor of  a classic New England Mill building which has been converted into art studios. There I have been creating original design Handmade Furniture for 12 Years. Every piece that comes out of my shop is created 100% by myself from the purchasing of the wood to the applying of the finish. This assures me that every piece that leaves my shop meets my high standards of quality.

I was formally trained at the Genoa School of Furniture Design in 1989. Genoa offered a unique experience in the in-depth study of Art, Art History,  Technical Drawing, Furniture Design, and Furniture Construction in the traditional handcrafted manner, employing hand and modern machine joinery to a high level of craftsmanship rarely seen in modern times. I spent 2 years as a full-time student and stayed on for another year as an artist in residence/student teacher before relocating to Western Massachusetts.

Most of my work is made Custom to order. I design and build new pieces of furniture to exhibit at Craft Shows where I meet the public. Projects are often commissioned from my show pieces as a model for design style and an example of my craftsmanship. Clients always ask "how do we start the process", and my answer is always this..."Custom is no problem. If for example you are looking for a bed, yes you can look at the bed's I have made and maybe you will like one of those, or I can alter that design, or you can look at  any piece in my portfolio, and I can design a piece in that style.  You can also just show me a picture that has some design elements you like. Again, it doesn't  have to be a bed we are looking at to come up with a design for your bed, Or... you can draw a sketch of an idea of your own".  I've had this conversation  with many clients. Below is an example of just that. Some people think, "I can't draw" but when I show them this sketch they say "oh, I can do that".

Because I offer Custom work, it's quite possible you might be looking for a piece of furniture I haven't  made yet. That doesn't mean I can't or won't build it. The opportunity may  have just not come up yet for that particular piece or style. I think of my designs as my own style but I am influenced by and do produce pieces in styles such as Art Deco, Shaker, Contemporary, Arts & Crafts, also known as Mission, Prairie, or Stickley. Here are some examples of items I can create:  Desks, Bedroom Sets, Entertainment Centers, Audio Cabinets, Dining Tables, Chairs, Wardrobes, Vanities, Mirrors, Hutches, Sideboards, Buffets, CD Cabinets, Bookcases, Built-ins, Computer Desks, Platform Beds, just to name a few. If you are looking for something unique, just ask me.

I am also available to work with Interior Designers, Interior Decorators, Architects and others in the home design trades.

The Web Site

My web site has turned out to be quite successful, more than expected. I have done work for clients all over the country, from Chicago, Boston, and New York City just to name the big towns, and many of these clients never met me one on one, but through many Email and telephone conversations we would work up a relationship to assure confidence in me and build an excitement to move the project forward. Because the ease of modern times I am able to Email picture updates of the piece as they are being built so the client can see the progress.

All of my clients have been very happy with the results. Below are some Emails I have received.
