I studied art at the University of Alaska, BFA in painting and printmaking. I was in the army for four years, worked as a mechanic. I studied music when I was younger and thought I would be a musician. I have a son who is fourteen, my wife spent 15 years in the army and was deployed to Iraq twice. I have lived in Hawaii, Colorado, California, Oklahoma, Alaska, T ennessee, Virginia, and Ohio. I have shown in Hawaii, New Mexico, Tennessee, all solo shows. I have work in the Museum of the North in Fairbanks, Alaska, and the Hawaii State Art Museum. (both were purchase awards). I also have shown in France and Bulgaria. I have a weird thing with cats and my other job if I couldn’t make art would be a mortician.
