I think I knew I was an artist by the time I was 10. I attended art classes early on while just a kid and then went on to the Art Academy of Cincinnati (when it was part of the Art Museum), Wright State University, and the University of California, Irvine.

I've studied art and applied artful solutions to most areas of my life, but discovered photography later in life than most. After experiencing so much in life now, with both successes and setbacks, I'm energized to express an authentic point of view outside of the corporate and advertising world. And I'm quite motivated now to fulfill my life-long dream of purposefully stepping out of my comfort zone to achieve these goals.

One thing I can say, though, is that I am also active in the business world, and am truly blessed to have found a network of agencies that recognize my strengths and empowers me to lead in ways that allow me to stretch.
