About

I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, grew up in Richardson, Texas and now live in Flower Mound, Texas. I’m blessed with a beautiful wife and two wonderful children.

I graduated with a BS degree in Geology from SFASU. I have studied art throughout my formative years and now own my own graphic design and woodcarving businesses in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

From 1997-2006, I studied traditional European carving and sculpting under Bavarian Master Carver Ludwig Kieninger in Dallas. I’ve also taken weeklong carving courses from Wayne Barton, Phil Odden , Else Bigton and now study with Hans Schwalm.

In 2003, I took on my first woodcarving commission (A Celtic inspired Cross).

In 2006, I was accepted into the Cross Timbers Artist Guild here in North Texas. I continue this association today.

I have worked to establish and refine my own style and have now executed multiple commissions over the last 5 years.The source of my inspiration is derived from European, Scandinavian and American influences. I love to study museum pieces, art journals and architecture. I’m most drawn to the traditional forms of classical art. God has blessed me with this talent and I would love to create something unique just for you!
