Nothing whatsoever qualifies me to write a book. That is why I consider this effort as a portfolio of a sculptor, and why I limit the writing to incoherent musings. But if some sort of bio is required, I shall proceed onward as if there is a point to be made. I began sculpting soon after marrying my bride, Victoria (Tori). I have commenced doing so for many of years, and hope to do so for years to come. I grew up in one of the most isolated of places in Oregon, the community of Adel, and worked as a hay-hand on the MC Ranch from age eleven through high School. My interest in art was a side gig at best, but was what I really wanted to do. Upon marrying a willing partner in my quixotic pursuit after receiving my degree in art from Eastern Oregon University, we moved to Portland, OR, as a launching pad for a budding Oregon artist. The bustle of the city was not for me, and soon we moved back to the east side, where I maintain a studio and foundry for producing my work, in Halfway, Oregon.
