About

Quality craftsmanship and professional integrity: two essential elements that comprise the foundation of my career with stone.  My education in stonework began in 2000, building accent pieces that were incorporated into larger projects for a small landscape architecture company I worked for throughout college.  My professional career started to take shape in 2004, when I took a position working for a well-respected stone mason in Southern Maine.  My position gradually grew from one of apprenticeship to that of a foreman, and before long I was developing my own clientele.  Throughout my career I have worked on a wide range of projects, from starting my education working on veneer fireplaces and chimneys to evolving a passion for the tradition and craftsmanship of dry stone walling.  I have had the good fortune of working with and learning from some of the best stone masons in the United States and abroad.  My secondary passion, traveling, has presented me with the opportunity to work in various locations over the past few years.  Along with apprenticing under a Master Waller in England, I have completed projects in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, California and Oregon.  I currently live in Bend, Oregon and intend to produce quality stonework here just as I have in other parts of the country.  I strive to handle each project as a creative and educational opportunity, with the hope of leaving my clients with a sense of personal satisfaction in their new environment.

I presently hold an Initial Certificate with the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (DSWA) and continue to educate myself, along with my clients, on the encompassing benefits of dry stone walling.
