If you purchase your ticket through my name you can receive a 20% discount on an original or a free print. I willed myself into existence in the outskirts of Houston. As I slowly grew taller, I did all the things that I felt like, because life is cool like that. I have a great affinity for all the traditional uses of the comma. I wrote my first story, which was in the shape of a boot, when I was five years old. Just ten short years later, I would get my first guitar and begin annoying people until I found out the Beatles were really easy to play. Then to Germany for a year. After that, I knew everything. I dropped out of college after my first semester to gamble for a living, and when I got tired of that I decided to write about it. At the strange age of twenty-four, I joined the Navy. That’s when I started to break bones. Just mine. I have written in most formats and also performed in a variety of genres including: improv, sketch, theater, short film, and stand up. I have been writing and performing music for over eighteen years. Painting became an integral part of my artistic practice during my MFAW from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
