Born on February 3, 1961 in Hastings, Nebraska.
My family moved to Utah in 1963

I have had no formal training as an artist but have always
been encouraged by my school teachers while growing up.
An artist is a part of who I am and it is a gift I appreciate very much!
I lean towards "realism" as my style.  I have always enjoyed the challenge of
recreating what I see and putting it on paper or canvas and then taking what I
have learned as an artist, adding  a few extra details here and there.

My subjects have included everything from people, animals, aircraft,
landscapes, ships and some still-life's in several  mediums  including
graphite, colored pencil, pastel, watercolor, oil and photography.

I have received 2 Best of Show awards, 5 First place awards, 2 Second place
awards and also a Peoples Choice Award!

I am happily married to my wife and best friend, Sandy.
She has helped me turn a life long dream into a reality.
I also want to thank my children, family and friends
for their encouragement and support.
You're never too young
or too old to be an artist!
