Biography

I was born in Waterloo, Iowa in 1954. I was educated at the University of Iowa and The University of Northern Iowa. I have over 30 graduate hours mostly in ceramics, however I have always considered myself a painter. I taught for 24.5 years in Iowa. I continually worked at painting, drawing, printmaking and ceramics, filled several portfolios, sold thousands of pots, but I did not exhibit. In December of 2001 my wife of 24 years died after a prolonged illness.

I was hired in 2002 to teach at Hopewell High School in Huntersville, NC. I remarried, to one of my former students, moved to Charlotte because of her and I have returned to the studio in earnest. Since January of 2003 I have painted, first with acrylics then with oils, the landscapes and figures that inspire me.

Currently, I am teaching Ceramics. I am also teaching 2 classes of Art History in the Midwood concurrent program. My wife works as an Arts Administrator. My daughter, 25, has a BFA in Graphic Design from Iowa State University. She is currently working as a graphic designer at Weyerehauser's retail division in Charlotte, NC. I am her proud High School Art teacher. My son, 21 and is attending the University of Montana.
