Why:
I have always built things, construction is a habit, and happiness comes from making something that didn’t exist before. I have always enjoyed working with metals, plastics, wood and many other mediums. I am constantly looking for new tools and new materials to work with. Most everything I build is heavy; delicacy in design is not in my nature.

LostMachine:
LostMachine was an idea I had back in 1999 it wasn’t until 2001 that I purchased the domain name for the site and it wasn’t until 2003 that the site has been active. I wanted to create an online project journal documenting all my creations. As years went by numerous objects for art and function were created and given away to friends with no other record of their existence. LostMachine is a side project, my own personal construction record for those projects.
