I graduated from The Ohio State University in 1994 with a BSBA in Economics. Originally from rural Ohio, I've worked in the field of business in places like Boston, MA, Cambridge, MA, Bradenton, FL & Cleveland, OH for over ten years. In 2002 I was introduced to stained glass and have loved it ever since. For the past two years I have been crafting stained glass art full-time. It is my goal to have at least one of my stained glass pieces in every state in the country by 2010. After that, of course, in every continent in the world. I will meet my goals.

Besides, any and all money I make on TraLoola selling my stained glass goes directly into a "visit my children" fund. I live in Ohio. They live in Utah. An 11 year old boy and an 8 year old girl. I see them maybe once every 18 months. Obvioulsy that needs to improve. I want to see them at least twice a year every year. So I have set up a fund. Now any money I make, whether it be on Etsy, through independent stores, or through direct sales, goes directly into that fund. I want to be able to see my kids at least twice a year. That is another of my goals. I will meet that goal.
