About Me

Hi! 

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.  I reside in the small charming town of Port Orchard with my amazing family, Jeff and Justin. 

My glass journey started in 1998 when I came across a group of lampworkers doing a demonstration at the state fair. I was immediately mesmerized!  I began reading and studying anything I could get my hands on. Mind you there was not much for the internet then.  I read Cindy Jenkins book "Making Glass Beads" from cover to cover, over and over again.  Then I took a class and figured out how to set up a studio in my home.  I officially started making my own beads in 1999, I've been hooked ever since! 

I run a GTT Lynx triple mix torch on tanked oxygen and propane.  Primarily I use 104 COE glass.  I especially love the silver laden glasses!

Thank you for stopping by my site!  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send me a message.
