I am a full time woodturner in Bixby, Oklahoma.  I first discovered woodturning when I was 11, and I immediately fell in love.  I turned throughout my junior and highschool years.  As a senior in highschool in 2020, with the pandemic in full swing, I started turning more frequently.  From that point on I became more and more obsessed with turning.  In 2021, I discovered the Northeastern Oklahoma Woodturners Association (NEOWTA).  This community has had a huge impact on me and my journey in woodturning.  One year later, in 2022, I quit my job and began turning full time.  I am now focusing on kitchenware that is both functional and pleasing to use and to look at.
