My intrigue for glass began as an undergraduate at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia in 1988.  It was here that I  received my BFA with honors in glass.  In 1990, I served as an assistant for the Masterworks Program at Wheaton Village, Millville, NJ.   I managed and worked in a glass studio at Oglebay Park in Wheeling, WV.  During my time there, I was also able to organize and teach glassblowing classes and a fused glass jewelry class.  In 2000, I was invited by Salisbury (MD) State University’s sculpture department to be their visiting artist for two semesters.  In late 2001, I will join the newly formed Pittsburgh Glass Center, Pittsburgh, PA as an instructor in glassblowing.
