About
I am a glass bender out of Omaha, NE with nearly 30 years of experience. I do neon repair and custom signs for my own business, Neon Jungle, along with all of the glass bending for SignWorks. I love refurbishing old signs and creating custom signs for people's homes and businesses.
As far back as I can remember, I have had a strong interest in art and creating. In the late 80’s I was visiting a friend in San Fransisco who was a glass bender and she thought it would be a good fit for me. As we walked through the city, we ran across some of her signs; the brilliant colors and the warm glow drew me in — I knew I had to give it a try. Not long after that, I went to the Northern Wisconsin Advertising Neon Workshop, and then got my start working for a neon sign company in Omaha.
A few years later I left to start Neon Jungle. I moved around the country a bit, working on neon in Denver and Boston, but eventually came back to Omaha and put down roots. I currently work with SignWorks on large-scale projects, and continue to work on neon repair and custom signs through Neon Jungle.
