Calvin moved from San Jose to Hawaii in 1998 and calls Aiea his home.  After some stained glass classes and learning basic lampworking in CA,  he made a life- changing decision to leave his job and work full time at making and selling lampwork beads.  Nothing much has changed since....but he did graduate from his hothead to a mid range with a minor on top.  Calvin continues to work near daily, on creating beautiful beads, many flowering ones, inspired by his love for orchids and all the tropical flora that he tries to grow on every available space in the yard!  During his fourteen years in Hawaii, he has taught many students the art of lampworking and fusing, along with the appreciation of glass, and he certainly enjoys these new friends within the bead community.
