My arc welding journey began with 10,000 factory-style steel windows, for the design award winning “Glass Building” in Charlottesville, VA. I long ago hung up my torch to pursue film work in New York, New Zealand and LA, but during the production industry-wide shutdown in 2020, metal working and design revealed itself as one of my most treasured abilities.
