I was born in Ventura 1947, raised in Anaheim moved back to Ventura in 1967. My first exposure to arts was at Catacombs Assn. on Ventura Ave. in 1969. In 1970 I moved into the Magic Forest, a hand-made crafts store owned by Val Franco. I started my metal sculpture there. I traveled the coast for a year doing craft fairs in 1974. I was in the first street fair in Ventura on Main Street and have been doing craft shows off and on as time permits. At the begining of this year my wife and I took a stained glass class and then a glass fusion class. We have set a glass studio up in our garage bought a kiln and other equipment, and we are off on a new adventure. Calling ourselves Recycled Iron & Glass,  We have done the shows at Green Art People, Ventura Elks, and Stone Works Gallery.
