After graduating from college, Brad remained true to his heart. He realized that working with
wood was not enough. He wanted to share his love for wood through teaching; and it has
rewarded him with many enriching experiences. Brad taught Graphic Arts in Mukilteo, WA
and then moved to Wyoming, where he taught woodworking to Arapaho and Shoshone
Native American Children (grades 3-8).
Then in 1985, Brad moved to California. There he started a new job, and became a father of
a newly born daughter. Sensing her husbands need to find some avenue to work with wood,
Brad’s wife Silvia bought him a wood lathe. And from that point on, Brad knew he had found
his niche. Brad says, “Of all the creative endeavors I have pursued, wood turning has been
the most rewarding, it is the pursuit of my heart.”
By 2006 Brad was ready to get back home , the Pacific Northwest , so Gig Harbor is now
home and let the chips fly !!

This lidded box is a project I use to teach beginners how to turn. It gives the beginner the
chance to experience multiple techniques and with practice, it gets easier and does not
require a big investment in tools or a large lathe . Contact me to find out how! My fee is
$20.00 an hour and based on past experience the project takes 3-5 hours.
