About
Many years ago I was looking for a unique anniversary gift for my wife, but couldn't find anything that was personal enough. I happened to run across the work of another glass etcher and decided to begin learning the craft myself. 3 months of trial and error later (especially error), I created a vase commemorating our wedding date. From that point I was hooked, and soon friends and family were making requests. Across the last 7 years, I have continued to refine my design work and processes to create etched glass work that I am more than proud of. I began Cronus Customs to start sharing my work with the world and expand out of my local network of friends and family. Today, I continue to refine my craft and relish the opportunities that my customers provide when requesting custom designs, pushing my skills and ability forward.
