Bio
When I was younger, I depended on available employment to fund my art production. My full and part-time commercial employment included roles as Gallery Director, Development Director for a NPR Public Radio Station, Lead Designer for a retail ecommerce website, Sous Chef, Movie Projectionist, and Janitor.
I learned from all those jobs while performing most important roles of Father, Husband, and Son.
