As the son of an artist, creativity flowed through my veins. Once I became old enough, my parents gave me Play-Doh as a Christmas present and I fell in love. From that point on I was always creating. I would sit in front of the television for hours playing with my clay. As I matured I became involved in Chicago’s Gallery 37 apprentice artist program in 1996, and started taking advanced placement studio art classes at De La Salle High School. These early experiences led me to The Atlanta College of Art where in 2003 I earned my BFA in Sculpture. I continue to create, and my work has been shown in places such as the Woodruff Art Center in Atlanta, The Chicago Cultural Center, and the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I currently sit on the board of directors for the Fire Arts Center of Chicago, where, since 2007, I have been lending a hand to students working to become artists.
