I\'m a pacific northwest guy. A skater and snowboarder from the hills east of Seattle. There was never a question whether or not I\'d be an artist, so I started right away when I was little, like 2 or 3. After high school the house burned for the 2nd time and I moved to southern Oregon to be a hippie.. that lasted about 8 years, during which time i picked up stone masonry, glass blowing, burl furniture building/wood carving, and I was building a house on the land I shareed with my mom. In 2005 that property burned down too. I couch surfed for a few years, between Seattle, Ashland, and Portland, and finally landed in Portland in 2008. After losing all my art and photos of it, it\'s taken till now to create enough new art to feel like it\'s time to show it in public again. I definitely tend to jump around artistically/stylistically - which sometimes means making only one of something. I have a little side business making wooden \"plugs\" for people\'s stretched earlobes. That\'s it.
