Seeing the world through a new lens has irreversibly changed my life. As a combat veteran, I struggle every day with the physical and mental scars of military service. Like many service members, I have developed a keen sense for the dangers of the world, constantly on the lookout for what could hurt me next.

By developing my artistic abilities, I have begun to see color, form, function, and beauty in places that were once hidden in plain sight. My artistic journey has become a process of personal growth and self-development, pushing me to become the best version myself. I do not limit myself to one artistic style or medium. Instead, I explore new tools, techniques, and materials to better understand my abilities.

Each piece I create builds on the skills and lessons of my past while simultaneously setting the stage for future creations and exploration. I am a woodworker, a furniture designer, a sculptor, a metalsmith, a painter, and an artist. I strive to introduce beauty through my work in hopes of leaving a positive impression on future generations.
