Door pulls made for the entrance to the Jim Rouse Visionary Center.
Ravens Team Store Wings
14 pairs of door handles commissioned as part of the concourse renovation of M&T Bank Stadium.
I carved the original design in stainless steel. Due to the size of the order and project time frame, I had them cast in bronze and nickel plated. Each set appears on both sides of the doors.
This is a selection of commissioned furniture that utilize reclaimed lumber and steel elements both fabricated and found. Machinery and architecture influenced
the design of each of these pieces.

Embellished Guitar
PRS guitar, mild steel, stainless steel
I was invited by PRS to embellish a guitar for an Auction to benefit Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.
The guitar picks are 1/8" stainless, I made
a jig to cut them out with my plasma cutter. The base is gun blued and lacquered.
After these photos, the guitar was returned to PRS to have all the hardware reinstalled so that it is fully functioning.
Nascar trophies
A five year collaboration with PRS Guitars
to create a unique trophy for the winner
of the Richmond Rock and Roll 400.
Each year's design was slightly different
and reflected as a theme in both the pace car and the guitar's paint scheme.
commissioned piece
This piece was created for a specific site in a small urban garden. The stainless steel bath was shaped to fit around an existing tree. The mild steel base was forged and left unfinished to develop a natural rust patina.
