Years a pipe smoker: 1

How you got into pipe making:
•A video of Cornelius Mänz making a freehand pipe was so captivating, that I had to get my hands on pipe making.

Other interesting facts:
• I started off smoking tobacco through the influence of a Dutch friend when we both worked at EA. I went from cigars to pipes, and after smoking my first bowl, I knew I found my niche.
• I have two cousins who play in the MLB, both are closers.

I am very new to pipe making, I started off doing some restorations, but the opportunity to work with woodworking tools and the limitless creativity one has in all aspects of art is what drives me to learn more about this art.

Great to be here, nice to meet y’all!
