"Just to bore you, a little history regarding my pipe past and present.

While on a business trip to Lexington, KY, I stopped at the Tinder Box and was immediately enthralled by the pipe collection displayed. I had originally gone in to get a couple of cigars. There I purchased my first pipe; a Comoy’s which I have to this day. After that I became acquainted with Mr. Ed from Ed’s Pipe shop in Nashville. He introduced me to Dunhill pipes, new and estate. I was hooked as a collector and pipe smoker. Along the way Edsel James was also instrumental in my passion for pipes.

My excursion into pipe making came when I attended the course in Chicago and was introduced to the skills of Lee von Erck and his willingness to give back to the hobby through this course. Immediately I was hooked and wanted to tap, hopefully, the creative persona within. Following the course I studied with Tim West and then followed up with an extended visit with Lee von Erck. During that study period, with Lee, I learned what it takes to craft a fine smoking instrument. Without a doubt Lee has been a force in my drive to make the finest briar pipe I can achieve. It has been through his guidance that much has been learned, mainly take your time and create a pipe that is as close to flawless as possible. His creativity and passion toward detail, in crafting works of art, has been extremely beneficial. I consider him a friend and mentor. I owe him a great deal of gratitude.

There is something new with every piece of briar and I will constantly endeavor to create something new with clean aesthetics and offer the collector, quite simply, a pleasurable and relaxing smoke."
