I received the most unique Artist of my class. I worked for all the top Ornamental Iron Shops in Nashville.
I started my business on my own in 2007 after a place I was working went under.
I have the most unique house in my neighborhood. I never stop pushing myself to create more. As Leonardo Divinci said I also paint.
