Born in 1973 on Eglin Air Force Base, my life has been a blend of music, art, and curiosity. As a "military brat," I explored diverse cultures before excelling academically. My artistic journey began with photography at Florida State, where a 1997 experience solidified my dedication beyond formal degrees. I honed my skills as a darkroom technician, managing labs in Detroit and Las Vegas, always prioritizing my team. My freelance photography built lasting connections.

In 2001, a transformative European trip ignited my passion for painting, seeking depth beyond photography. In the late 2000s/early 2010s, I settled in Centre, Alabama, which sparked my full-time art career. I now dedicate 5-6 hours daily to drawing, coding, music, and content creation, surpassing 10,000 hours in various arts. Despite a severe 2021-2022 car accident with doctors predicting I'd never draw again, relentless practice defied their prognosis, proving my resilience.

My artistic philosophy champions self-reliance, control, and continuous improvement. I prioritize mastering my craft and well-being. Today, I continue creating, living with my two primary mothers, Porsche and Valerie, embracing my dedicated artistic life.
