TRADE ALLEY ART GALLERY

Based in Hickory, North Carolina since 1989, I developed a deep appreciation for woodworking during my career in the furniture industry. My work as an inventor and mechanical engineer strengthened my love for technology, craftsmanship, and the creative possibilities found where the two meet.  

 

Now in retirement, I’ve naturally gravitated toward woodturning and sculptural work, often combining wood and metal to bring an industrial design sensibility to both functional pieces and purely artistic forms.  

 

All proceeds from my work are donated to local charities—an opportunity to give back to the community that has supported me for so many years.
