He is an artist, maker-of-things, collaborator, and entrepreneur. His body of work ranges from figurative and architectural to modern and abstract.

Artist Statement
​
I currently sculpt animals, insects and paint landscapes. My inspiration comes from the world inside and around me. In the past, I used fancy art words to describe my work, but really, I was just creating designs I enjoy.
