Designer-maker in wood, I am originally  from Southern California where I trained as a carpenter. Moving to Paris, France in 1991 where I lived for twenty-five years, I co-founded and developed the Design and Build company, Morning Fox, which focused on interior architecture and bespoke furniture. Facilitated by my training in CAD software,Rhinoceros, projects included collaborations with architects such as Renzo Piano, Didier Faustino, William Matthews and Elliott Laffitte. Moving to Inistioge in Co Kilkenny in 2016, I joined the DCCI and developed a furniture collection and wooden watercraft inspired by the Iocal landscape. Materials are sourced from locally naturally felled wood suppliers, along with FSC certified sustainable timber suppliers.In both 2018 and 2021 I was selected for the Design and Craft Council Ireland’s Portfolio wider selection. In 2020, he exhibited watercraft and furniture in the group exhibition, ‘6’, at Kilfane Glebe House Studio which was reviewed by Dr Catherine Marshall for the Visual Artists of Ireland magazine. In 2020, I was shortlisted in the competition “Covid Commission” sponsored by the DCCI and The National Museum of Ireland and received a special mention from the jury. In 2023 I was winner of the inaugural award for Davis haw Smith Legacy Award followed in 2024 by an article published in The Irish Times, written by Deidre McQuillan.
