Welcome to my site. In my pursuit for creative self-expression, experimentation with different mediums and techniques has been an area of concentration.

Even though I aim to create pieces that are aesthetically pleasing, the logic and science behind the possibilities and limits of the act of building, are my rhyme and reason.

Working along side his father he assisted in bringing her ideas to life. He credits his father for his skilled craftsmanship. Now he is a multi-faceted artist, working in such diverse media as sculpture, mural, and graphic design.
