After spending the first eighteen years of my life along the sunny beaches of Southern Florida, I chose to relocate to Minnesota where I received my BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1997. Since receiving my MFA form the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in 2002, I have been featured in galleries and institutions across the Midwest and on the East Coast. I am currently represented by Flanders Contemporary Art in Minneapolis and the LaPelle Galleries in Philadelphia. I live with my wife in Rochester, Minnesota, where I teach painting and drawing at a local college.
