Hailing from the woods of northern Maryland, I consider myself a wildlife artist with a slight interest in nautical matters and the application of humor.

Having graduated from Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts (Now Art Institute of York, PA) in 1992 I set upon a Graphic Design career. I worked in sign making, publications, corporate design and finally settled into a production role in 1999. I have since worked as a photo manipulator, Mac technician, support manager, prepress manager and currently work as a production supervisor in a corporate marketing department.

Though I spent all those years doodling and sketching, I never took my talent seriously. By chance, in 2009 I was offered an opportunity to put ink on paper for a profit and I have never looked back. Each day I spend a few hours honing my talent, learning new techniques and growing as a humble artist.

My true passion is pen and ink on paper. I utilize many tools, but prefer using Sakura Micron pens over the standard Rapidograph contraptions. Over the years I have also come to realize that graduating from drawing paper to watercolor board was a better choice, not only for the more durable substrate but  also for better control of the ink I lay down. I do sometimes add color to my pieces using pens, watercolor paints or colored pencils.

Working in production and having a slew of contacts in the printing industry has led me to produce the best quality prints and cards of my work. I limit my signed and numbered prints to a set of 150 for most of my work. I print all reproductions on FSC certified paper (environmental chain of custody) and even print all my card sets with a 100% wind power offset printer.

Finally, the ink I lay on paper each day is a direct reflection of my hopelessly scattered mind. Hopefully you will not hold it against me. I have noticed though, that my talent continues to grow each day. I attribute this to my friends, my fans and most importantly my wonderful wife and 3 daughters.
