Starting with Wendell August Forge in 1929, he left to work with Arthur Armour in 1934. He remained there until WW II. He produced his own work in Grove City, PA until 1952 when he relocated to Chautauqua New York. His work is carried on by his son Joseph and grandson Robert. He is profiled on page 82 of the book Wendell August Forge, 75 Years of Artistry in Metal written by Bonita Campbell in 1998.
