Artist's Statement
It seems I like to design and create things. Be it computer software applications, furniture, or now kaleidoscopes, it occupies much of my thoughts and time.

I was raised in the suburbs just north of New York City, and graduated from the State University of New York at Albany, studying Business Administration and Computer Science. After many years working in the computer field, I was looking for a change -- hopefully something that would allow for more creative freedom. This coincided with my discovery of, and subsequent growing passion for kaleidoscopes. I decided I wanted to make them! Adios corporate world.

I have a longtime hobby of woodworking so it was natural that my designs would be in wood. I researched and studied all of the materials I could find and unveiled my first scope at the Brewster Society Convention in San Diego, May 2001.

All my scopes are meticulously handcrafted by me and signed. I plan on experimenting with different mirror systems and creating a variety of unique and satisfying designs for all to share the joy and magic of kaleidoscopes with me for years to come.
