Garry Furness

Let me take you on a journey through my life, one where the world of construction and the art of glassblowing have seamlessly merged to create who I am today. I stand here before you, a 41-year-old civil technician, with a firm handshake and a love for all things outdoors.   My story begins in the bustling city of Seattle, where the evergreen landscapes of the Pacific Northwest served as the backdrop of my childhood. The towering pines and crystal-clear lakes sparked a love for the outdoors that would stay with me throughout my life.   As a young boy, I would often accompany my father, a skilled contractor, to his job sites. Watching him construct and create, I was captivated by the transformative power of construction. It was during those early years that I decided I wanted to make my mark in this industry.   With determination and a heart full of dreams, I delved into the world of civil engineering and soon found myself in the role of a civil technician. It was a career that allowed me to fuse my love for the outdoors with my passion for sustainable urban development. From the concrete jungles of the city to the open landscapes of rural Washington, I've worked tirelessly to build a better, more sustainable future.   But, you see, there's more to me than just hard hats and blueprints. Beyond the grime and grit of construction sites, there's a hidden passion—a secret world of glassblowing. It's my sanctuary, a place where I find solace and creativity in shaping molten glass into intricate forms. My love for glass extends to our home, where I've designed and crafted unique fixtures that add an elegant, artistic touch to our living space.   Outside of the urban hustle, I crave the call of the wild. I find my peace in the great outdoors. Whether it's backpacking in the serene wilderness, tackling challenging terrains with rock climbing, or simply meditating amidst the tranquil embrace of a forest, I strive to maintain a balanced sense of well-being.   In this exciting journey called life, my family serves as my greatest source of joy and strength. My talented wife, Emma, is a gifted painter whose vibrant creations adorn our home. Our two children, Lily and Max, are the embodiment of our love and provide us with daily adventures and life lessons.   As I navigate the line between the rigidity of construction and the fluidity of artistic expression, I am continually driven by the desire to make the world a better place. Whether it's through a delicate glass sculpture or a robust infrastructure project, I believe in leaving a lasting impact on our surroundings. And as long as the lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest continue to inspire, I'll be here, striving to shape a more sustainable and beautiful world for future generations.
