Sonam, named the "King of Rock" in Massachusetts, was educated as a novice monk in Ganden Monastery in Tibet, where he studied the art of dry stone masonry. After graduating from his four year apprenticeship under a master stonemason, Sonam emigrated to the United States. Sonam has been practicing his craft in this country since 1986. He works with clients or their architects to design unique stone-walls or structures that blend well with existing buildings and terrain. This includes the selection of appropriate materials such as flagstone, bluestone, marble, etc.
