Retired from an interesting and creative job as a business development manager where I designed and sold electronic communications equipment for military and medical use (including a voice amplifier for use with biochem suits), I found myself bored and missing the  creative side of my previous work.  Then, I saw the light- literally!  I saw a lamp made from a vintage phone, decided to try to make one and was hooked.  Now I have created dozens of one of a kind lamps from everyday and vintage items, specializing in unique ways to turn them on and off.  

After over 45 years of working with agencies like NCIS, FBI, Navy BUMED, US Customs/ICE, and various SWAT and National Guard teams across the US, I am excited to design and create specialized lamps from my home workshop in Lincoln, Nebraska, and exploring second hand stores, garage sales, flea markets, and auctions for inspiration and parts.  

Experience the nostalgia as you scroll through some of my creations ready for your home, man-cave, she-shack, office or wherever.  Guaranteed to make you smile, they will be a unique gift or conversation piece.
