From the time I was fairly young I discovered within myself a subtle need to create. It didn’t matter if I was carving wood or modeling clay, but if I stopped for too long I would become restless and anxious until I began again. Since those early days, that subtle desire to make art with my hands has intensified. For me, sculpting fills gaps in my soul. When I am a part of making something beautiful it adds more meaning to my life. I am an artist because I need to be one. 

I love to see new life come into the materials I work with. The steel I weld with is often rescued from the scrap pile. It has been tossed aside and deemed useless. It is essentially trash. As I continue to work with it a wonderful transformation begins to take place. That old dead material is somehow revived and reborn. It is inspiring to me to see a work of art given a soul, and I hope others will also be inspired as they experience the work of my hands.

My earliest childhood memories begin at my family’s home in Buckeye Arizona where we lived from my birth in 1986 until the early nineties. Just after I finished kindergarten my family moved from Arizona to Washington where dad worked at the Hanford cleanup site for nearly 20 years. From the time I first became interested in sculpture my parents and other family members and friends have always been supportive. They would get me modeling clay for birthdays and Christmas, and I still have and use the Dremel tool my father gave me out of the blue to encourage my carving when I was in high school.

I studied art at Columbia Basin College in Pasco, WA from 2009 to 2011, and graduated with a degree in art from BYU-Idaho in 2014. In 2007 I married my high school sweetheart Nina, who has been my greatest support in pursuing my career as an artist. Together we currently reside in our home town of Kennewick Washington with our growing family of five boys.
