I am a sculptor and jeweler and teach stone sculpture at Monterey Peninsula College. I first studied from Alex Weygers in 1965 at the age of 15 and continued to be his student and assistant until I was 19. During that time I studied sculpture theory, blacksmithing, tool making, clay modeling, and stone and wood sculpture. As his apprentice I assisted him in demonstrating blacksmithing and sculpture techniques during his workshops from 1966 to 1969. I resided in his apprentice studio during this period and I helped him in some of the construction and maintenance of his house and studios. It was a fascinating and rewarding experience to be associated with the person that he was. My friendship with Alex continued until his death in 1989

>>>>In the past several years I have traveled two times to Pietrasanta, Italy staying a month and longer on each occasion. Pietrasanta is a location rich in marble quarrying, manufacturing, and sculpture.

>>>>I increased my knowledge and skills in marble carving while working at Palla Sculpture Studio in Pietrasanta. The contacts I have made with other sculptors from all over the world who have also come to Pietrasanta has been a rich and rewarding experience.

>>>>The following stone sculptures are for sale and I am available for commission works in marble and bronze.
