Mark Sperry has been smithing for over 30 years and the majority of that time he has been working at the Anderson Forge of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia where he uses techniques used in the 18th century to create reproductions of historic objects for the reconstructed city. Prior to working at Williamsburg, Mr. Sperry ran his own blacksmithing business. He is also a Forged in Fire champion of Season 5, Episode 18.
