I was born and raised in Western New York, currently living in the Rochester, NY area. I am a gunsmith specializing in stock work and restoration/repair of firearms. My focus is in vintage sporting guns with an interest in SxS shotguns.
I focus on historically accurate restoration work. As a general practice, I believe in doing things one way, and that is the right way. And whenever possible, that means the way the makers who built the guns did. The collector interest in and value of many of these firearms is pretty significant. And it is of the utmost importance that the work done is as correct as possible in order to preserve them for generations to come.
I hold a Bachelors of Science in Studio Art from Roberts Wesleyan College. Art of all forms has been a life-long interest and creative expression through some outlet is my purpose in the work I do.
I am a life member of the Parker Gun Collectors Association, and the Lefever Arms Collectors Association.
