My Background
I grew up in the mid-west, raised by a hard working family. I have always liked to create. I have always liked working with both my mind and my hands. Through my youth, I spent a lot of time juggling and performing, surrounded by creative people. As an adult, I changed direction and started working with wood. I now enjoy creating, teaching and experimenting with all aspects of life.

On top of that, I grew up with a father who taught me how to work through problems with minimal resources, and dogged determination. As an adult, I worked as an engineer, and developed a technical mind. In the middle of all that, I find a balance of artistic inspiration with technical knowhow. I use my skills to make artwork that is aesthetically pleasing and enjoy the process, even when technically complex.
