Biography
As far back as I can remember I loved the idea of swords, swords in the movies, stick fighting on the front lawn, battles for love and glory. The same adventures often had by many young imaginations.
At eight years old however the only way to get swords, tanks and fighter planes is to make them yourself. You need cardboard, sticks, tape, paint, guts, glue and the will to invade Spain.
I started out with a classic schoolboy education, added college theatre, toured in Edinburgh and traveled Europe.
Later I performed theatrical stunts in New York City, became a fencing instructor, fight scene director, bouncer, boxer, jewelry designer and skydiver.
These days I reside in my home state of Rhode Island, USA where I continue to make swords, chalices, masks and jewelry.
