I come from a blue collar family. Pittsburgh is my hometown. Working hard and going above and beyond is in my blood. I love a good challenge.

​

What I've learned from my nearly 20 years of professional work, is that making art is exactly the same as any other blue collar job (stick with me here...). Every day I have to show up for the art. Every day I have to make good on my commitments and do a darn good job for myself and for the jobs I am hired to give my best to. My reputation is upheld by the relentless pursuit of excellence. The people who I work with depend on me to do my job so they can do theirs.

​

When I wake up I think, "Damn I'm tired let me go back to bed." But once I've had some coffee, I assure you after that I think, "What's next?" Make great art, that's what. Let's do it together.
