I’ve met some interesting people, often because of the projects I’ve worked on over the years.

This is Josh Greenwood, blacksmith extraordinaire. Among many other accomplishments, he built gates for the National Cathedral, taught blacksmithing courses around the country, developed two hydropower plants, and spoke four languages.

I met Josh when we were both around thirty and creating art for the new Tobacco Company Club.

I have always found it interesting how people connect.

For Josh and I, the whole spectrum of persona, work, and the ability to communicate instantly drew us into a friendship. I also admired his well-controlled intensity. He had such a mind-body connection where his muscles and mind were so developed from his journey in life that he had developed as only he himself could have.
