About the artist

Michael was born & raised in Lancaster county, the heart
of the Pennsylvania Dutch country. With a love of the old
timber framed covered bridges and a knowledge of
construction, Michael began dabbling with model bridges
in the late 1970s, and by 1983 was supplying model
railroad enthusiasts with high quality scale models. In
1992 Michael & his wife Jackie moved to Bedford county
to get away from the rat race and be closer to Norman
Rockwell. In 1994 they began building their own house,
and for the next 8 years not many models were built. But
as their house neared finished and workshop space
became available, Michael began building models again.
Michael builds model bridges in 1/24 & 1/48 scale, model
buildings in 1/24 scale, 1/12 scale doll houses, and
custom work of all types. A master stone mason by
trade, Michael also enjoys woodworking & leather crafts.
His greatest love by far is building covered bridges,
preserving in scale model these ever fewer pieces of our
history.
