BIOGRAPHY

Proudly, born and raised in Oklahoma.
I am a father, teacher, artist, and professional scuba diver.
A veteran who is grateful for the opportunity to have served in the United States Marine Corps and U.S. Army.
My professional credentials include three degrees culminating to a Master of Education with an emphasis in arts, a bachelor of graphic arts, and an associate in fine arts. My passion for learning and desire to share my love of art has brought me to my current occupation - a high school art teacher.
It's as a teacher that I get to mold our youth's minds and develop the desire for art within my students. Everyone can create with the proper guidance and direction and I have enjoyed developing my students artistry for over a decade.
My love and respect for the natural world is shared and explored as a professional divemaster.
