I graduated from St. Olaf College with a BA in art, concentrating on studio courses. I ended up working as an "amoeba farmer," raising protozoan and algae cultures for a biological supply company. This bit of work in biology inspired me to go back to school in fisheries science for a BS from the University of Minnesota, and I spent the next twenty years working with fish, mostly on Lake Superior. During this time, art was in the background, although I did work on my own projects, and I did a little professional illustration. Click for my current portfolio.

My hobbies include fishing, snorkeling, listening for frogs, and hiking. I am co-author of Gooseberry Falls to Grand Portage, Ron Morton and Steve Morse, Rockflower Press, 2007. This is a walking guide to the hiking trails in Minnesota's North Shore State Parks.

I am now pursuing art for a living, making custom stained glass pieces and cast metal sculpture.

I do cast aluminum at festivals and schools.  I provide sand molds for 6 inch hexagonal tiles.  Participants carve their own designs into these molds and watch me pour molten aluminum into them and see the tile come out of the mold.  

If you are interested in a stained glass window or panel, I will be very happy to work with you to design and construct it. I will make a sketch plan or plans from your ideas, and we can settle on a design that fits your budget, and the physical constraints of your site. Please feel free to contact me by phone at:
