John has been working with wood since childhood and early-on developed a fascination for making boxes and turning fine writing instruments. Shortly after stumbling upon Puzzleworld, he noticed box packing puzzles and that became another fascination. Ever since that encounter he has focused on making small editions of high quality puzzles and fine pens. He now finds his time divided between puzzlemaking and creating unique one-of-a-kind writing instruments. John lives in Nova Scotia, Canada.
