​

Kim started his professional sculpture career in 1971 at the age of 20. He started making small copper sail boats, windmills, and other table top and wall hanging sculptures in his garage and selling them at weekend arts and crafts shows. 

​

In 1983 received his first commercial project at The Mayfair Hotel and Shops. He made 18 copper elevator doors, 50- three foot wind span copper birds and 100 copper lamp sconces. This experience enabled Kim to guide a group of highly skilled craftsmen to forge both interior and exterior masterpieces. After that, most of his career has been in hotel, restaurants, casinos, and high end private residences. 17 years ago, he designed and built the worlds largest underwater columbarium memorial, called Neptune Memorial Reed, in 42 feet of water off of Miami Florida.
