I built solar chimneys, gray water systems, houses, lighting fixtures, ovens and more. My concept of life: environmental - saving energy, guides me in everything I create - utilizing natural resources at the maximum level and creating maximum comfort for the user.

In recent years, alongside conservation and restoration projects, I have been devoting the most attention to the blacksmithing school. I get immense satisfaction from teaching. I have patience for everyone. Each of the students leaves with new abilities and with a sense of success.

I invite students of all types - women, men, youth, mentally challenged and people with disabilities. Learning is for everyone."
