I was born in a small steel town in Pennsylvania. At seventeen I enlisted in the U.S. Army and became an Airborne Ranger. I often feel that part of my youth and innocence was lost at that moment and while the decision to leave was mine to make I was completely unaware of the ramifications. Currently I work with existing objects – taking them out of their normal context and allowing for new readings to emerge. My sculptures, paintings, drawings, photos and videos often employ contemporary and vintage stuffed animals, toys, film stills, and video allowing me to barrage the viewer with a series of character-driven tales and critiques.

In the "Golden Child" series of digitally manipulated personal photos, I re-write my history creating a mythological aura around the awkward child I once was. As an explorer of the hidden side of life, I strive to make visible things that might otherwise go unnoticed. My ongoing series of drawings made with radio controlled cars allow for chance and accidents which in turn thwart predictability; landscape and figures emerge through a series of exaggerated and distorted lines.
