I spent many summer afternoons in the sweltering heat and humidity of
New York City helping my dad with his carpentry business. Meanwhile,
my mom would drag me to museums and galleries, but I had little
interest...
...until I went to college, where one morning, I found myself in an
intro sculpture class. My interest was strong enough to become a
sculptor's apprentice, go on to get my master's degree, and then move
out to Los Angeles to pursue a creative lifestyle.
My professional and creative works are closely related, and constantly inform and inspire each other.
