Growing up in a household of makers, talent and inspiration was abundant. I learned to love art and music from my mother, an accomplished musician and wool spinner. I learned the craft of woodworking and it’s application from the best, my father. I worked along side him throughout my youth and into my twenties renovating historic homes in the greater Hudson Valley of New York. This experience provided me with the foundation and spark to ultimately hone my skills and apply them to the craft of metal fabrication. My interest in hands on creation and art lead me to achieve a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Plattsburgh State University in New York, 2001 and then a Masters of Fine Art in Sculpture from the University of Washington in Seattle Washington, 2004.
The process became my priority and I continued learning as much about metal fabrication as possible. I was fortunate enough to work with many masters of metal on the West coast, refining my own skill set and tightening up my abilities.
A few years after settling into Ohio, I began working for a crane service company at a local steel mill as their lead welder. At this point I began to learn the infrastructure of overhead cranes and the workings of a steel mill. Steadily working on cranes and within the steel mill, I developed the idea of building and repairing similar parts and equipment on my own.
Farm Fabrication LLC was born in 2013. Shorty after, I left my position as lead welder at my job and opened the doors of my own fabrication shop in Lebanon Ohio.

In addition to the wide array of industrial applications that Farm Fabrication is capable of, I am right at home approaching more creative and artistic projects.
