Originally from Boise, Idaho, I grew up skateboarding and snowboarding and have always had a fascination with the chaotic way human interaction altered the appearance of objects. Working in skate shops I learned to tell a lot about what type of skater someone was by the marks on the bottom of their board. Each one tells a different story. Each piece of furniture becomes a playful storyboard of human activity.

Moving away from Boise I spent 10 years living and working in Seattle, Washington and recently relocated to Portland, Oregon. Over the years I have experimented with a wide variety of recycled materials and sporting goods to construct a visually striking furniture line that’s both colorful and comfortable. There is a constant push in all of my work to use recycled materials and eliminate waste wherever possible.

The voyage into the northwest intruduced me to bicycles and a love of building freak bikes. The ultimate expression of individuality, fun, and independence. Each freak bike is an experiment in human interaction both on a personal level and between the bike rider and those around them. I’ve taken to applying my builder’s skills to the construction of the creative visions of my clients. Welding together a tangible object of their whims. In short, I make some damn original freak bikes.
