Born in Ohio and currently residing in Arizona. I’m a father, a man of faith, and an artist at heart. My creative journey began when I graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a degree in graphic design. Life quickly took me in a different direction, leading me into the trades—a career path I’m deeply grateful for, as it has given me stability, perspective, and countless experiences that shaped who I am today.

But my heart has always been pulled back to creating. I believe art is a gift from God, and I want to give back by using that gift to bring joy, emotion, and connection to others. My introduction to finger painting came from being introduced to Iris Scott and her Amazing artwork, and from the first moment
I tried it, I was hooked. The “hands-on” approach forces an impressionistic feel, but within that movement and texture, I work toward a touch of realism.
I love the richness of texture, the unexpected “happy accidents,” and the way each fingerprint becomes part of the story.

Today, my focus is Wild and Legendary: capturing the strength and vulnerability of endangered species and honoring legendary figures who inspire us all. Whether it’s the gaze of a gorilla, the charge of a bison, or the spirit of a legendary musician, my goal is to create work that stirs something in the soul.

Though I currently balance a corporate career, my vision is to one day dedicate myself fully to art—and to giving back through it. I’ve been fortunate to have many experiences in life, and I feel truly blessed to share my artwork with others. My hope is that every piece brings a spark of joy, reflection, or inspiration to those who encounter it.
