About the Craftsman
My love of craftsmanship begin to reveal itself in my childhood on my parents farm in Southeast Nebraska along the banks of Beaver Creek. When I wasn't helping with the farm or exploring the Creek with our dog Sandy, I was captivated by our piles of scrap metal, wood, broken down and disregarded machinery around the farm. To me these raw materials and broken machines possessed the wonders of what was and what could be. That wonder is what continues to fuel my love of crafting with wood, metal and any available materials to make unique items. Craftsmanship has been woven into who I am and how I express myself, and I hope that my craftsmanship and story my impact and inspire others.
Vision for Story
The beauty of craftsmanship is that it can serve both a utility purpose as well as an asthestic purpose. The art of craftsmanship has the ability to envoke emotion and connect us to a story of the past, present or future. Although all items created by Beaver Creek Craftsman need not to have a significant story beyond it's utility purpose, the desire of Beaver Creek Craftsman is to specialize in creating unique items that tell a story of what once was, what now is, and what my be.
