New England Ironworks

Throughout my life I have had a creative streak.  Growing up I was very artistic, sketching in pencil and pen & ink, painting with watercolors and acrylics, throwing pottery, writing poetry and short stories, and playing saxophone and piano.

I went on to study Architecture at the University of Miami, and after working in Computer Aided Drafting for some time I developed a fascination with computer networking.  I changed career paths, and went on to work as a network administrator and engineer from 1997-2010.  I still integrate my artistic calling with computers by volunteering for various non-profits doing graphic design and web development.

NEI came to be out of my frustration with the corporate rat race and technology-driven economy.  Although I hold a degree in Architecture and professional certifications from several technology vendors, I just didn't feel fulfilled.  I found myself searching for a more hands-on industry, something that brings creativity, science, physical labor, and practicality together.

So I have endeavored to learn the blacksmith trade... and I registered this website as a placeholder for my future business.  If you would like to request a hand-crafted item at the cost of materials while I hone my skills, I'm more than happy to help you out.  Drop me an email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
