dropped out of art school 1 week before graduation with a 3.6 GPA just so I would have a cool art school story.

started blowing glass in 1999 in Seattle, paid a bunch of money for about three 2 hour classes in basic pipemaking.

2001 moved to Florida with good friends and started LVGA (still going and kicking asss) took every mickelsen class I could, probably about 5 or 6. studied with Thomas Mueller Litz (sp?)

2005ish moved to Miami as a resident artist and guest instructor at the university of Miami for two years. i was studio Assistant for 2 years to William Carlson, endowed chair of the art department at UM and one of the pioneers of the studio glass movement, founding member of Pillchuck. not to mention a bad ass glass casting mofo.

2006 started collaborative work with Bonnie Seeman ceramics professor at UM, working in miniature..which was, and is an education in problem solving and patience.

2007 moved to Austin Texas and help organise a nonprofit art complex with 40 plus artists and a glass blowing studio....

thats about it.
