I enjoy many hobbies such as amateur radio, metalworking, welding and blacksmithing. I am a member of ABANA and the California Blacksmith Association and teach blacksmithing for CBA members in my home shop. I am currently the secretary of the California Blacksmith Association and have held the offices of President and Education Chair. As well as a 3 year term as ABAA secretary..

I forge ornamental iron work and tools in addition to teaching. I have appeared as a blacksmith on an early episode of Myth Busters exploring “Exploding Hammers”. This episode has appeared on “re-run” specials frequently.

Some examples of my work … The ABANA ring was constructed in collaboration with Lowell Chaput
