Since New Year's Eve of 1996, I've been fortunate to make a living working with metal. In 1997, I began working for Steve Lopes, and what followed was 27 years of learning how to transform sketches, ideas, hand gestures, and conversations into functional works of custom metalwork.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of collaborating with architects, designers, builders, homeowners, and, of course, Steve. Together, we've created everything from practical repairs and everyday solutions to custom stairways, lighting, gates, and architectural features. Every project has brought its own challenges, lessons, and rewards.

Steve's well-earned retirement in early 2024 led to the formation of Radius Forge in November of 2023. Since then, I've been grateful to continue serving longtime clients, build new relationships, and carry forward a tradition of thoughtful craftsmanship.

My goal is simple: to be accessible to anyone who wants or needs what I have to offer. Some days that means repairing something essential. Other days it means helping bring someone's idea to life. Either way, I approach every project the same way—listen carefully, solve problems thoughtfully, and build something worth keeping.

Some of the most rewarding work begins as a rough idea and evolves through collaboration into something that becomes part of a home, a business, or a family's story for years to come. Whether contributing a single custom detail or an entire feature, I enjoy helping clients navigate the process from concept to completion.

Thank you to everyone I've worked with for being a part of my life, and helping to build who I am as a craftsman and a person. In the world of custom metalwork, every project comes with a relationship, and more often than not, a learning experience.

Bring your ideas, your needs, and your wishes.

We just might be able to make them happen!
