Born in 1981 High Point, NC. Moved to Libertyville, IL 1984 where he grew up in a suburb of Chicago before returning to his city of birth in 1999 where he currently calls home base. His love to create started early when he learned to draw outside the lines in his coloring books, being able to see the beauty even when things aren't perfect is what lead him to anything related to art or creating. He spends most of his time holding down a few local jobs, all while traveling to foreign countries a few times a year to photograph local culture, nature, products, and the people of these amazing places.
