As a practicing sculpture artist myself, my goal is for students to learn and refine techniques through various artistic media, while discovering or reaffirming what inspires and motivates them to be successful and happy in life. We cover and practice the elements and principles of art, but I personally urge the children to use expression and self-reflection as a guiding way of explaining what art truly is. I graduated from The University of North Texas in 2012 w/ a B.F.A in sculpture and this is my 9th year teaching . I've participated in and won art shows around the Dallas metroplex as a member of the Texas sculpture association. I'm blessed to have my lovely wife Andrea by my side along with two wonderful sons (11 and 5), and a beautiful toddler daughter. We have a talented red-heeler doggy named Kalisto and a fish tank full of fresh water fish! I'm my parents oldest of three children and am proud to say we visit Me-maw, Pa-paw and Gi-gi and Apa every Sunday. I love my 90's rock music , playing the drums, shooting hoops and collecting old action figures. I'm a HUGE COWBOYS , MAVERICKS, RANGERS and STARS fan and am still very much a child at heart.
