Learn more about me
I am an educator, fine artist, musician, and video game developer. Curiosity drives me to seek out new and interesting processes.
I was born in North Alabama, which is where I spent my formative years. However, in my early twenties, a group of friends and I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where we played, recorded, and obsessed over every facet of underground/indie rock music. Ten years after venturing to the frigid north I went back to school and finished my BFA in Visual Art at the University of Minnesota. In 2011 I completed my MFA in Studio Art at Florida State University. I then started lecturing at the University of Minnesota and teaching at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Currently, I reside and make art in Atlanta, Georgia.
