I took my first course in Blacksmithing in 2015, and have been enjoying the craft since that time. In addition to basic coursework, I have been fortunate enough to train as a scholarship student in advanced forging and traditional joinery techniques.

​

My passions in forging range from decorative and functional items, as well as tool making. Just as much as forging (if not more!) I enjoy sharing the craft with others eager to learn. As a native East Tennessean, I particularly enjoy being able to contribute in any way to keeping this wonderful craft alive in Appalachia.
