Myford's interest in aluminum began in 1970 when he attended a workshop sponsored by Alcoa at the Art Center in Pittsburgh. " I fell in love with aluminum as a material." Myford then began creating contemporary aluminum sculptures by using the casting process. He had the first one-man art exhibit of his works in Pittsburgh in 1972. The eighteen pieces of work produced for the show ranged from twelve inches to four feet. Several of these pieces were purchased by Pittsburgh art collectors. Thus his life as a sculptor was launched.

Over the years Myford has created and sold many sculptures to both private and corporate collectors. He typically produces about fifteen pieces a year and can be working on as many as five or six at a time. Larger sculptures can take up to six to ten months to complete.
