His strength is contemporary silverwork that retains a traditional feel, and he also does stone and wood inlay. He has won awards at the Santa Fe Indian Market (Best of Classification in the jewelry division in 2011, and 1st place in a category in 2017) and the Heard Museum Indian Fair & Market (1st place in 2022 and 2023), among others.
