I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree in Metal and Jewelry Design from the School for American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). I am a Roycroft Master Artisan working in metals and a member of the Art Faculty in the East Aurora, New York School District.

From An American Original

In my home studio I create jewelry and art metal in the Roycroft tradition with my wife, Dawn Raczka. One of my most notable works is the Centennial Clock in the Roycroft Inn, which was produced with fellow Master Artisan Howard Lehning. A driving force in my work is a desire to put a little of my soul in every piece of metal that I craft.
