The longest enduring and passionate hobby I have ever had is wheel-thrown pottery. Taking clay from the Earth and, through a process of shaping and then heating to vitrification, creating an enduring object, for me, combines the best of artistic endevour and mechanical process. Some of my earliest memories involve digging clay out of my parent’s garden and drying pinch pots in the sun, and some of my happiest times as an adult have happened while working alone and with others in the studio.

Location: Longview, Washington, United States

I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

I finally got time to go out to the studio and throw a load of pots... then time to fire them... then time to glaze them...

Just in time for Christmas.
