I am originally from Kearney, NE where I went to High School. I was very involved in Art and Athletics. After 2 years of Architecture in college I decided to give into my passion for Art and kids so I persued Art Education. I met my wife, Machelle, in college and we got married back in August 2012.  I love to travel, enjoy the outdoors (biking, hiking, running, longboarding, etc), and I still enjoy playing some soccer and tennis when I can.

As for art, I have always had a passion for Graphic Design/ Digital Art, and Ceramics but I have never really found a form of art that didnt grab my intrest, except maybe weaving... I am very excited to be teaching Photography, Pottery, and Jewelery at East this year.
