About

I was born in Minnesota, U.S.A. and raised on the west coast of Canada. There I fell in love with the oral traditions and art of the Haida people. I began carving at the age of 12, and became a professional sculptor at 25.

When I was 35 I moved to Hawaii, and assisted in the construction of the 62 foot long traditional double hull voyaging sailing canoe " Mo'okiha O Pi'ilani " Sacred Lizard That Pierces The Heavens on the island of Maui. At this time, I began making outrigger racing paddles, which are now used all over the world.

I am now a student of Inca culture; this is my first book.
