Born and raised in the US Midwest, my creative journey began with art studies at Miami University and Carnegie Mellon University in the '80s. At the age of 20, my pursuit of a creative life led me to New York City, where I briefly veered into the world of investment banking, before transitioning to the realm of software development, where my imaginative and innovative thinking could be harnessed to support myself.

Over three decades, I turned my day job into a career as a software engineer through the emergence of e-commerce and digital reading, which brought me to Madrid in 2021, where I led the Kindle Library team for Amazon Spain.

Throughout this journey, I have never abandoned my first love, and have worked in parallel to develop as an artist, happily devoting my free time to drawing, painting, sculpting and most recently animation. In Madrid I was happy to begin exhibiting my work, in group exhibits at Garaje Lola, and Fucar22 Art Gallery. My work has also began to make it’s way into private collections.

In March 2024, after years of immersing myself in the logical abstractions of software engineering, I made the decision to leave behind the comfort and predictability of a corporate day job and embrace the realm of art, where I can finally dedicate my time to unleashing my creativity.
