BIO
Personal Profile
I am a passionate thinker and multidisciplinary artist. I love to create, whether it be architecture, ceramics, or music. I live as a student of life, focusing on developing my skills while always seeking something new.
Outside of my work and art I search adventure around the world with my wife and daughter. Recent favorites include Egypt, Sicily, and Belize.
