No child prodigy, however, he was curious, fascinated by cultures outside the US and always wanting to make something. He dabbled in drawing, woodworking, storytelling, foreign languages, spirituality and music. It took him decades to figure out how to piece all of these random passions together.

Driven by his love for different cultures, He majored in Spanish and moved to Bolivia in 2004. There he did a number of things like working with churches and participating in other non-profit activities. He married and had 4 amazing kids. To pay the bills He taught English, and translated documents from Spanish and Portuguese into English. But over time, he grew increasingly dissatisfied with life. He didn’t feel complete. He went through an identity crisis and eventually rediscovered himself as a multi-disciplinary artist.
