I'm a passionate metalworker with a wealth of experience in both industrial and artistic fabrication. My journey began alongside my father, specializing in the construction and restoration of wooden canoes, where I honed my skills in woodworking, metalwork, and ceramics. Over the years, I've overseen diverse projects, from crafting artistic elements for iconic buildings like the Fortune Building in Winnipeg to restoring precious architectural details such as the 9th-floor restaurant at Montreal's Eaton Centre. My love for the arts, coupled with my ability to tackle technical challenges with creativity and precision, along with my versatility across various artistic and technical domains, make me an enthusiastic and dedicated collaborator ready to contribute to exceptional projects.
