Growing up, I didn't have much interest in drawing. It wasn't until my late teens when I discovered the world of art. At first I only drew abstract designs and never gave any thought to drawing realism. After seeing the levels of realism that several artists could create with pencils and paper I decided that I would give it a shot; I haven't looked back since.
After discovering art, I attended Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens,Tennessee. While in college, I taught several drawing classes for the AACA where. I enjoy teaching and hope to have an opportunity in the near future to do more of it . I also received the Frank Riggs Award of Art from Tennessee Wesleyan College. I graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education. Since I graduated college, I have opened my own tattoo studio in maryville, tn.
When I'm not drawing, I love spending time with my wonderful family. I am blessed beyond belief to be married to my wife, Lindsey. We have two beautiful children, Elijah and Adonai.
