I have always been fascinated by pipes so when I after an accident at work had to find a new career choice it wasn‘t hard. I should design and manufacture pipes.

With the help of pipe maker Kurt Balleby I got a good start both on creating and distributing pipes, and in 2002 we together participated in my first Chicago show.

In 2003 I started my own company since I could not imagine working with anything other than pipes. With the help and professional guidance from my network of other pipe makers (among others Tom Eltang, Poul Ilsted, Kaj Nielsen and Joao Reis) my small pipe business is today a success and I produce about 250 pipes a year.

I emphasize nice design and good craftsmanship - I‘m proud of being a pipe maker.
