I was born in Chatswood, N.S.W. in 1948
moved to Perth, Western Australia
with my family in 1957
where I grew up and married Gail in 1972.
In 1975, we moved
to picturesque Albany
the south coast of Western Australia.
My interests have always included art, woodwork and metalwork.
so when I began making knives in 1989
the transition was very compatible with my previous interests.
Knife making quickly became a passion
so it was no surprise
to anyone when I left my position
as Dyer and Colorist at Albany Woolen Mills
and began Knife making full-time in the beginning of 1993.
Since then, I have enjoyed making a diverse range of knives including
practical working knives and very unique art knives with Carol Ann O'Connor.
I work with various types of blade steel and a large variety of handle
materials including unique timbers from the Goldfields of Western
Australia and beyond.
My knives have won many awards over the years.
The most recent include:
Best Art Knife at both the 2000 & 2001 Adelaide Custom Knife Show.
I have also received: Best Art Knife, Best Kitchen Knife, Best Hunter,
Best Small Game Knife at the Australian Knife makers Guild Show
held in Melbourne, May 2000 and Best show knife at the National
Custom Knife Show held in Perth, November 1999.
