Littleton, MA, United States
Years ago I was forunate to have apprenticed under Master Craftsman Philip Lowe at the Furniture Institute of Massachusetts (FIM) in Beverly, MA. Upon graduating, I remained at FIM, restoring antiques and assisting students. Till this day I have continued to educate myself through courses offered by various craftsmen. Since 2007, I have worked out of my personal studio, located in Littleton, MA. In the studio the focus is to restore and reproduce period furniture for private clients and institutions. My main focus is in the Federal Period, with a specialty in veneering, banding, and inlay.
