I have been an artist since the day of my birth. I have always loved art both creating it and admiring it. I enrolled in Nossi College of Art in Goodlettsville TN back in 1989 and eventually earned my AoS in Illustration in 1995. I have worked in the art industry all around Nashville ever since mostly as a freelance artist. I also teach Wado Ryu Karate to over 120 kids from ages 4 - 40+ every day. Along with teaching them I go to self defense and weapon seminars and am on my way to my 3rd Dan (3rd degree) black belt in Wado Ryu and will hopefully reach the level of Shodan (1st degree) in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu sometime later this year (2009).

A couple of years ago I decided to go back to Nossi and get my Bachelors degree in Graphic Design. I have been able to go back to focus on my first loves 3D Art and Illustration and Website Design.

Thanks to some pretty awesome instructors like Rick Schrand, David Deitrick, and Hugh Shelton I have been pretty inspired and kept on my toes. I hope to graduate "someday" again but no one knows for sure when that'll be, and perhaps teach art for Nossi and continue to work freelance with my art and illustrations and just doing what I enjoy, Oh and also to one day open my own dojo to pass on what I learn in the martial arts as well.
