Since the start of my metal fabrication career I have been apart of more then 70 projects here are a few of my favorites
Lion Fire Pit was my first big solo project, and was used as a program fundraiser for Quincy High School’s Metal Fabrication shop.
The design took me two days to complete – I saw the lion symbol and ran with it. I felt that it reflected my class’ tenacity perfectly. After it was fully cut, the real work started as I had to lead a team of my classmates through full construction of the cut pieces.
In the end, we reached a product I am very proud to have helped bring into the world.
This project was especially important to me.
The Wave Fire Pit was a 10 year anniversary gift for one of the security guards at our school from his wife. After she saw our Lion Fire Pit, she fell in love with the idea and asked for one to be created that was inspired by the place they got married.
I was honored to help her with such an important gift. Beautiful pictures of their beach wedding inspired the design, and I made sure to carry the specialness of the gift down to the last detail, including lighthouses and the coordinates where they first got married.
Holidays Wreaths was an interesting project for me to work on, because despite their decorative nature they would be facing harsh conditions. So I needed to find a way to extend the metals’ life while keeping it’s decorative features from rusting. The success from these wreaths lead to a temple for future creation or use.

This project is an example of how I can blend my creativity with functionality. As I was given a odd prompt and made a product the family loved.
