I've been teaching in the Valley for the past nine years, and it’s been an amazing ride. I didn’t have any formal training—just a real passion for art and a drive to create. That passion eventually led me to start my own company right out of my garage. It wasn’t always easy, but it’s been incredibly rewarding. I’m married, have one awesome adult child, two lovable dogs, and a serious love for travel. Exploring new places keeps me inspired and always looking for the next creative spark.
