A Glimpse Into the Work
I’ve lived many lives—athlete, trader, storyteller, strategist—but art has always brought me home. It’s where time stands still and where I find meaning.
Whether I’m standing in front of a roaring furnace or behind the viewfinder of a camera, I’m chasing the same thing: a sense of presence, of aliveness, and of communion between stillness and motion, intuition and form.
Glass and photography offer me a conversation with the moment. One medium holds breath in molten fire; the other captures light on the edge of now. Both require trust, timing, and surrender. Both reward attention.
In the aftermath of a life-changing accident in 2023, these practices became more than creative outlets—they became pathways back to self. To slowing down. To noticing. To reimagining beauty in the everyday. This section is a window into what I see—and how I make sense of the world I’m still learning to move through.
Glass
Form, Fragility, and Flow
Glassblowing found me when I needed to slow down. After a career defined by speed and external metrics, I was drawn to a medium that demands presence, surrender, and rhythm. Each piece I make is a conversation between breath and gravity, fire and form, memory and imagination. Glass is a material that doesn’t lie—it reflects exactly what you bring to it. There’s no shortcut, no hiding in the heat—only the honesty of process and the discipline of attunement.
I’m inspired by movement, both in nature and in the body. My years as a swimmer gave me a muscle memory for flow, and in glass, I’ve found a way to translate that intuition into form. I twist colors like currents and let centrifugal force and temperature shifts create wave-like patterns—unpredictable, alive, and unique to each piece. What remains in the finished work are not flaws, but fingerprints: tiny ripples, subtle lips, infinitesimal bubbles—clues to the dance that shaped them. I want my work to carry warmth, utility, and imperfection—objects meant to be held, lived with, and felt.
Photography
Stillness in Motion
Before I ever touched glass, I chased story through the camera. My photography practice grew from a desire to document not just places, but presence to pause and preserve what otherwise slips by.
Over the years, my work has been published in campaigns for global travel and hospitality brands. But beyond the commercial, there’s the personal: light hitting water, a hand reaching out, the quiet moment before motion begins.
I’m interested in human-scale beauty. In honesty. In awe.
