At home in the mountain valley of Seattle, Washington, I have been growing my art for over two decades. Seeing a glass blower working captivated my interest instantly. I was completely engaged and watched for hours discovering at that time my passion for the craft. Since then I have had the great pleasure of working with hundreds of glass blowers and have my art in prestigious collections around the world. I like to make things that make people smile and naturally share the art by mentoring and teaching others. Being a father is the most important role I play in life. Passing down the craft to my boys gives them tools of patience, attention to detail, flow and meditation that will last a lifetime.

I hope you enjoy my glass as much as I do creating it. May you always cultivate what inspires your inner flame.

Inspired by the beauty of nature, grateful arts. aims to evoke joy and nostalgia through our unique creations.

Devoting my life to glassblowing, I have collaborated with artists all over the world. Over the years, I have assembled a talented team of artisans. Today, my team and I are excited to introduce you to grateful arts. Together, we create my signature designs while also showcasing designs from around the globe.
