Professional Borosilicate Glassblower.Worked on numerous large installation projects with many artists during that time. Assisted artists with their personal projects and produced my own glass art for sale to storefronts as well as personal collectors. Taught many classes in the United States and abroad for large groups as well as individuals. The Queso brand glass work is featured in numerous stores and galleries all across the United States as well as Australia, Europe and South America. Being a self-employed artist for many years taught me many important skills. I learned how to plan out large projects with a group, correctly manage my time on projects and accept constructive criticism in a positive manner. It also taught me the value of working with a positive and driven group of individuals and constantly learning to increase my skill base at all times.
