BIO.
I was born in Kettering, OH. In the early 90s, I moved down to Cincinnati. I was always interested in creating art even at a young age. My passion for art really developed when I was accepted into the art program at Moeller High School. Upon graduating, I traveled north to attend the Cleveland Institute of Art. College gave me an opportunity to explore my style and work on my craft. I graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration. Shortly after graduation, I moved back to Cincinnati to continue creating art.
In 2007, I met my wife, Lauren. We met at my first solo art exhibit, “Smoke Filled Jelly Donuts” at the Southgate House. We were married in 2012 and now have two children, Molly & James. We are currently residing in Cincinnati, OH. We love seeing live music, collecting vinyl, gardening and spending time with family. Thank you and I hope you enjoy my art!
