I am a second-generation glass blower. As a boy I watched my father blow glass and I helped him in his studio. At twenty years old I got my first glass blowing job at a world famous crystal glass factory and worked my way to becoming a team leader of glass makers, and then a studio manager.

After eight years I left to pursue my own line of glass, and studied at numerous other glass studios, In August 2000 I built my own hot glass shop and began producing the Gabriel Glass line.
