Aha! You are curious! Other people skip this section, but you couldn’t resist knowing more.

Well, I’m bred for my skills in magic and genetically engineered to I’m a minimalist, but information is my weak heel. I don’t go anywhere without my PDA (pen and index cards) in my right pocket. I scribble down ideas as they come, then I move the new entries to my left pocket for processing. I enter the best ideas into a spreadsheet.

I like talking with people. In fact, I only leave my studio because I like people. If people didn’t exist, I would probably stay in my studio forever. I’d just turn it into a biodome.

Harvard says I’ve got the new MBA (MFA = MBA, in case you’re recruiting). I haven’t scored a corner office yet, but I have used my education to teach college art courses, land freelance projects, and become an equity partner in my company. I enjoy speaking opportunities with large and small audiences. I talk about curiousity, creativity, and my art-making.

I have a wonderful family. Breezi, my wife, brings springtime to our home. She loves scrapbooking, Pride and Prejudice, and selling state-owned property to tourists at Valley Forge National Park (our first date). My two daughters love drawing, body slams, being princesses, and finding treasure. We love to “go on adventures.” Our cat loves body slams too.

My parents and siblings fill me with humor and smiles, and they continue to be my boon.
