I started collecting neon when I was around 11 years old but had always had an interest in it, even as a very young kid. I specifically remember staring at blue and red units behind a glass block bar at my local DQ. I think that's what sparked it. 

Fast forward to four years ago(2020), at age 22, I had a piece in my collection that needed repairing. I found a local bender and he immediately offered to teach me the trade after discovering my fascination and admiration for the craft. 

I'm 26 now and have been bending for a little over four years. I spent the first three and a half years making neon art and signage for friends, family, and clients in the Cleveland area. I am now a resident neon bender at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. Come and visit!
