I have over 10 years of experience working on artistic and design focused enterprises. I currently work as a designer and craftsman for Emil Frei Inc. in St. Louis. In addition to designing stained glass windows and mosaics I have recently been applying my architectural knowledge and experience toward the design of installation sculpture at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. I am passionate about art & architecture and I would like to continue to integrate my passion for both in my future work.
In my personal life, I really enjoy the outdoors: fishing, camping, hiking, nature watching, caving, etc. My interest in the outdoors has taken me all over the US, most recently to Isle Royale in Lake Superior where I backpacked across the island with my beautiful wife Rachel.
