Born and raised in Hockessin, Delaware, graduated from Salesianum High School and then from The University of Delaware in 2021. I met my wife our freshman year of college and we got married in May of 2025. Throughout my whole life I’ve always had a deep connection with nature and seeing what I can make with the materials around me. Early on in my life my Uncle Ted taught me how to use a lathe and I was off to the races making everything I could. It’s a passion that has remained with me through every phase of my life, and I decided to pursue it as a career. As I’ve gotten older my work has reflected several master craftsmen that I look up to including Nick Pedulla and George Nakashima, and I believe my style incorporates elements of each of their artistic methods. As I learn and improve as a woodworker, my ultimate goal is to be able to create custom pieces that challenge my current skillset allowing me to integrate more difficult techniques that result in beautiful personalized furniture that lasts a lifetime.
