Biography

Lincoln Seitzman graduated in 1943 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a mechanical engineer. He served in the Air Corps during World War II, and then joined his father's clothing maufacturing firm, where he later became vice president in charge of design and production. During his thirty-five years in the garment business, he won many industry awards for fashion design. In 1981 he retired and became interested in woodworking. As of 1995, his work has been seen in more than thirty-five museums and twelve galleries.
