Bio

I began making books by hand as a child, began printing professionally in 1990, and have worked at Pyramid Atlantic, Rare Book School & the Library of Congress. In 2000 I began working at Wells College where I dedicated myself to teaching, printing, and administrating one of the nation?s premier undergraduate book arts programs. I also worked for my heroes Michael & Winifred Bixler as a typecaster, compositor, pressman, proofreader & web master at their press & letterfoundry in Skaneateles, where I learned everything about casting type & making fine books they don’t teach you in graduate school. I now lives & works in Athens, Alabama, where I run my own freelance design & fine printing business. I have recently developed a tool to measure ink called The Ink Dial?. When I’m not designing or printing books, I’m thinking about designing or printing books.
