Been a welder since the early age of 14 . at 17 started tig welding primarily all stainless steel and doing fabrication of kitchen equip. and other misc art work ! in the January 2007 I was introduced to knifemaking by my step father John PerMar . he has been a voting member of the knifemakers guild for about 10 years now . He talked me through my first knife and from that point I was hooked like a bad drug . I am now a voting member of the Knifemakers Guild myself now . I do everything to my knives myself , heat treating , grinding freehand , leather sheaths with tooling . that is me in a nut shell !!!
I enjoy all my time I spend with my son . I also hunt , fish , dive , and just relaxing at the beach
