David Mathias left a career in computer science for the full-time pursuit of writing and photography. His interests include woodworking, which led him to the Arts & Crafts movement in general and Greene & Greene in particular. He has built a number of pieces of furniture inspired by the Greenes and also by Gustav Stickley. David's magazine articles on Greene & Greene have presented him with the opportunity to visit and study many Greene & Greene homes including the Gamble, Blacker, Robinson, Ford and Thorsen houses. He and his family now reside near Vevey, Switzerland.
