Born in 1971, I was raised in an atmosphere of things artistic. It was ingrained in me at an early age that sometimes the best things in life come from taking the path least traveled (and in turn usually provides the most resistance). Pipes and cigars were staple items for Dad, and these provided the foundation of things to come. | Born in 1971, I was raised in an atmosphere of things artistic.

I am not only a student of pipe making, but am a active collector of classic pipes, pipe related tobacciana and I absorb myself in pipe history. I feel that studying and enjoying other craftsmen’s work only improves and broadens my experience and knowledge. I also strive to try every pipe tobacco I can get my hands on. I started and am president of “The Briar Club”, a pipe smokers club at a local DFW, Texas tobacconist shop. One of these days I would love to open my own brick and mortar pipe/tobacconist shop, where pipe artisans can have a great place to show their wares and providing the pipe world with another real place where history can savored while promoting the future of the great pastime of pipe smoking. Only time (and government intervention) will dictate if I am able to achieve this or not... Until then I will do my best to provide quality pipes and service for a reasonable price. | I am not only a student of pipe making, but am a active collector of classic pipes, pipe related tobacciana and I absorb myself in pipe history.
