During 1973 and 1974 while enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts Program for sculpture at (SJSU), he studied under Professors Sam Richardson, John Battenberg, and Fletcher Benton, all internationally recognized sculptors.While studying for his masters degree in sculpture he became involved in the kinetic sculpture movement of the 1960s. Always using wood as the main media for his sculpture, he also incorporates metal, glass, plastic, and natural stone. His meticulously engineered kinetic sculptures are best described as a combination of fine furniture pieces which contain an impossible bottle type environment that is viewed through glass. The cabinet always remains stationary while the artwork within is kinetic. When turned on, the pieces sequenced with a combination of light and mechanical movement.

He was the co-founder of Bears in the Wood a small chain of retail stores in the San Francisco Bay Area which served as the showrooms for furniture that he both designed and built. The stores also sold Teddy Bears which were imported from around the world. The merchandise was displayed within an environment which featured a three story waterfall, and a full scale log cabin. These were the first stores in the country to market \"just\" Teddy Bears. The airing of that TV special set off a national Teddy Bear store frenzy in the United States from coast to coast which began in 1976, and continues until the present.In 1979 his work was featured in the Fine Woodworking \"Design Book Two\" printed by the Taunton Press. This hardcover book featured photographs of the best work in wood by selected craftsmen from across the United States, and Canada.In 1990 his woodwork, and sculpture at the Tenaya Lodge in Yosemite was featured first in the Fresno Bee newspaper, and then on the KGPE CBS TV47 program, Eye on the Valley.

Touring the country with The Woodworking Shows, a Los Angeles based traveling trade organization, he gave three day woodworking seminars in twenty-one different US cities each season. He continued teaching and traveling the country on an average of twice each month until October 2002.In 2009 he began a syndicated newspaper column called, \"How Art Shapes Our Lives\". The column is published once each week in the California central valley, Sierra foothills, and the Yosemite area. The column is designed to help build an awareness of the fine arts and the \"Bigger Picture\" while pointing to something local that can be observed.

These furniture pieces were the first new additions to grace the Great Lounge since 1927.

In 2011 the display cases were designated as \"Reserve Property\" of the hotel and are now part of the United States national heritage.He has been in the business of designing and building commissioned pieces of furniture, and sculpture since 1972.
