Upon picking up his first carving tool at the age of 10, he knew that carving would be a life long journey. He was trained to carve with a chisel and mallet, his methods have become more modern by using power tools but his goal is still the same, to create an abstract, seamless wood sculpture. Being raised on Martha's Vineyard Island, surrounded by the sea. A large part of his inspiration comes from nature. Where you and I might see entwined branches or a piece of seaweed, he sees a way to represent that in wood. With each tree that he chooses to work with, careful thought is used to bring out its inner beauty.
