I was originally trained as a jeweler /silversmith, and it shows in my work. I have done everything from earrings to architectural sculpture. I have won awards in over half of the juried art shows that I have been in, with most of my entries consisting of armour or armour-like jewelry. Most of these were multimedia shows. 

Before I became a full time late medieval/Renaissance arms and armour cleaner/repairer/restorer, I made heat-treated medieval/Renaissance armour for use in simulated heavy combat for twenty years. I have done some work for film. The most famous project I have worked on, to date, is the Infinity Gauntlet for the Marvel Avengers movie, 'Infinity Wars'. There were two full size 18 inch long gauntlets made for the film that appeared in those scenes in which the characters had to interact with an actual physical object. To be clear, I did not design the gauntlet. My job, under the direction of the project's leader, Tony Swatton, was to build the prototype of the body of the full size gauntlet (the embossing and other decorative details were done by other members of the team) and figure out how to make it so it would have proper movement. I also built most of one worn by Josh Brolin in the green screen sessions, likewise finished by the rest of the team. I have visited seventeen European armour collections since 1993, as well as a couple of major private collections.  I have handled some very famous pieces. I am a serious student of armour, and my making of armour serves as a form of empirical research.  Armour in the German Gothic style has been my especial study, although one could scarcely tell by looking at the harness shown. It dates from 1991, which was before I had seen any real armour; moreover, it was heavily impacted by economic considerations. It is not representative of my current work. The photos on this site would make it seem that 16th century armour is my strong suit, but it is merely my most recent serious work. In any case, I can do more than any of the examples shown.
