Why Blacksmithing...

My interest in Blacksmithing began while working with my grandfather.  I have been forging for 18 years in Virginia.  My early training in Blacksmithing was mentored by the Tidewater Blacksmithing Guild.  As an artist-blacksmith, I began my apprenticeship in Colonial Williamsburg.  My specialty is museum quality 18th-century reproductions.  I love to share my passion for Blacksmithing with the next generation.  I teach children and adults.
