 Born in Columbia, Kentucky and raised in the Louisville area, I expressed an interest in art at an early age and concentrated on it heavily   through my high school years at North Bullitt. This included taking vocational courses in Commercial Art during my junior and senior years. After graduating from high school, I earned an Associate’s Degree in Commercial Advertising Technology from Jefferson Community College.

                                                    

 I am currently work a day job to pay the bills- but I also freelance, contract and or commission projects such as, logos, letterheads, brochures, paintings and murals.

In addition to all accomplishments and tasks, I make time to spend with my wife and three beautiful kids, who mean the world to me.

 Artist's Statement

 

 Life Is A Highway

 - When choosing your path, always make time to stop and look around and take in what's going on. Your perspectives, emotions, inspirations, and desires can help determine the images you capture in your mind, heart and soul. And I hope that I can have the opportunity to catch a few of my own as I try to convey them in my art…
