Introduction	I love glass! I discovered lampworking in 2005 and have been in love with it ever since! I didn't get much torch time as I would have liked (barely any) but I kept plugging away, working on improving my skills. What kept me away from the torch, you ask? My 2 beautiful boys, ages 18 and 4 (both have b-days in September) and my full-time job as a Datafill Technician for a major company in the telecom industry. Perseverance and the little bit of practice I was able to get really paid off. In February, I started as a part time beadmaker for Arribas Brothers at Disney and at the end of August I became a full time glassblower (flameworker)! If you're ever at Epcot, be sure to stop by Mexico and say hello.
Interests	Melting glass, buying glass, touching glass, talking glass... Hmm, I'm starting to se a pattern here. I like jacking around with computers, too. (I have an IT degree and in a previous life was a Network Admin, not that that means anything). I dabble in website design, too, but not as much as I used to.
Favorite movies	Anything with lots of action! No chick flix, please!! If someone isn't getting beat up, blown up, shot or stabbed within the first 10 minutes, I'm out!
Favorite music	House!! And anything else that sounds good. I have very diverse musical palette.
Favorite books	Anything John Grisham.

You moved the pot before the coffee stopped brewing. Do you smell the mountains or the burro?

I smell feet.
