All bronzes I sculpt are cast in silicon bronze and finished in the traditional manner using brown tones and in some cases a polychrome finish. All pieces are thoroughly researched and given careful attention to detail. I either personally execute or supervise the phases of production from original model, molds, wax pattern producing and chasing, welding sections and windows, tooling detail, patinas, mounting on bases and applying protective coatings. The original molds are in my possession.
My intent in designing this site is to make viewing the pieces as user friendly as possible. I have tried to get the best quality for detail and still have reasonable loading times.

This photo was taken in the USAFA Library during the dedication ceremony of two Falcons suspended by stainless steel cables in two attitudes of flight. I was commissioned to do these two as well as other pieces to be installed at the Academy. Members of the Falcon Foundation were present at the ceremony as well as officials of the Academy.
