Traditional swordsmith with over 17 years experience forging historically accurate recreations of arms, primarily European but exploring other areas, from the 10th to the 19th centuries, and over 11 years experience as a professional goldsmith/jeweler. My work explores the intersections between function and embellishment as well as traditional forms for the modern aesthetic. I specialize in fully functional heirloom pieces that are hand crafted to represent a family, a person, an institution, an accomplishment, and/or a philosophy.
