Artist

Biography

I was raised in small town Pennsylvania. I kept myself busy reading science fiction, mythology and comic books, and watching lots of movies.

After earning a Masters in math from UC Santa Barbara I worked for the US Navy in Washington, DC determining the best collection of spare parts carriers should keep stocked in order to maximize readiness of planes.

However, the call of Santa Barbara was too great. So I returned, began teaching part-time, which left ample time for artistic pursuits. Home improvement projects took me to scrap metal yards, which sealed my fate.

I create sculptures out of a workspace full of thousands of parts gathered from countless trips to salvage yards. It is loads of fun and I can’t imagine not doing it.
