After a successful business career he sold the company and moved to Aspen in 1978. He began a career as a studio ceramic artist with gallery representation and one person shows in Aspen and Kansas City.

After 20 years as a ceramic artist, he applied to Pilchuck Glass School and took a glass casting course from John Lewis. He was hooked! He returned to Aspen and traded in his clay for glass and has since continued to explore and test the boundaries of cast.

In 1992 he hired Jacqueline Spiro to assist him and the two have been working together ever since. They normally work 5 or 6 days a week and pour about twice a week. The sand and resin mold technique they use can be traced back to an artist friend who worked in bronze. Their casting technique is unique and offers a platform for continuing experimentation. They taught courses at Pilchuck in 1998 and 2000.

Most of their work has been commissions from architects and interior designers. They have done one person shows of cast sculptural objects in Aspen at Susan Duval Gallery and in Kansas City at Leedy Voulkos Gallery. In July '98 they had their second show at the Susan Duval Gallery of cast glass furniture.

This show displayed benches, shoji screens, coffee tables, entry tables, and desks.
