--I attribute my hard work ethic to my mother. She taught me that there is nothing free in life. You must work hard through life’s challenges in order to succeed. She told me not to just think of today and tomorrow, but to plan for my future.

--”The Borrower is Slave to the

Lender,” is my favorite quote. It

comes from Proverbs 22:7. Dave

Ramsey, Christian financial

consultant ties this age old saying into how we live our lives of today.

artist statement

I strive for my art to have an earthy but elegant look, but also be

functional as all things in nature. I feel the rough but elegant terrain I

grew up around, emphasizing the contrast of rough textures and smooth

curved surfaces, inspire my work.

Since Teisha, my wife has came into my life my business has grown

leaps and bounds due to her support and understanding of my dream.

She has not only helped me dream the dream but make it reality.
