In 1988, Glenn applied his skills to a new type of wood artistry, creating handmade doors. That first door paved the way for many more custom door-making opportunities. In 1996, Glenn became a handmade door entrepreneur and is currently owner and master craftsman of Aloof Doors, a thriving business which serves clients all over the U.S.

As a gifted sketch artist, Glenn showed artistic talent from an early age. It was inevitable that one day he would apply these talents in free-form manner to his wood craft. Continually looking for new opportunities to enhance his woodworking skills and express himself, Glenn began creating wall hangings and carvings in 1998 and Aloof Art was born.

The freedom, emotional release and "flow" Glenn experiences during the creation of his art is unmatched. Watching each piece evolve into a finished product that reflects the energy and emotion invested into its creation brings Glenn deep satisfaction. As he works on each new project, Glenn experiences cathartic freedom in following his uninhibited intuition. He believes this feeling is available to everyone if they are brave enough to create their own art.

Being able to connect with the natural world is essential for Glenn's artistic process. Growing up in Miami, Florida, he was drawn to nature, particularly the ocean where he feels most at home. Having relocated to the Adirondacks as a teen, Glenn appreciates the diversity of the natural environments available to him there. Near his self-built, tranquil Adirondack home, he enjoys lush forests, dramatic mountainscapes and easy accessibility to the waters of Lake Champlain and the nearby Atlantic Ocean.

Intense challenges in these environments allow Glenn to center himself and nourish the creativity that flows into his art. In the winter, he can be found climbing the icy peaks of the Adirondacks, and in the summer he often embarks on extended boat journeys. Glenn's most recent boating adventure will be featured in an upcoming issue of Soundings magazine. Over 7 days and 6 nights, he journeyed from Lake Champlain to the Atlantic Ocean via the Hudson River in an open 16 foot skiff.

As an artist, Glenn hopes to refine his skills to a level where he is recognized as a world-class artist and craftsman. He aspires to be on the "short list" of wood artists capable of creating timeless, top-quality pieces with unparalleled ingenuity, craftsmanship and artistic impression. To date, his work has been featured in Adirondack Life, Log Home Design Ideas, Plattsburgh Press Republican and The Champlain Weekly.

Glenn lives in Port Kent and works in Ausable Chasm, New York. He has two children, Leigh and Spenser. He enjoys reading, worn-out Levis, Snickers bars, and driving his 1980 jeep with the top down in the rain. He dreams of someday circumnavigating the globe in a small sailboat.
