10 yrs traveling from place to place state to state to work with as
many glass artist as possible to grow and hone the techniques of
his craft. After working for a short stint with a member of the
Aribas family in Southern California he chose not to take a full
time position working with humans moved back north to Bellingham WA
to be closer to family and to root down and put the knowledge and
technique he'd been growing in to use. Soon after arriving back in
Bellingham he started a line of caps that grew in incredible demand
giving him the opportunity to continue to grow his craft while also
helping open up the market for even more accessory driven glass
work. He has shown his work both In galleries with stores like the
Pipe kings, T Leaf Gallery , & the famous and ever growing 52nd st.
He has also had opportunity to show his work at an art pop up in

He is currently evolving his cap line to stay relevant to the
evolution of the extract smoking scene while pressing into the
quartz market as well as developing a production line for the new
recreational weed store market taking over the PNW primarily
