I am a dual-department faculty member in Computer Science & Engineering and Fine Art. I teach creative courses with an emphasis on digital processes, physical products, and a philosophical approach to making. Through a holistic view of education considerate of mind, body, and spirit, I help students identify and strengthen their creative voices.

My own educational experience includes earning a BFA in Printmaking from Southeast Missouri State University, an MA in Studio Art from Eastern Illinois University, and an MFA in Sculpture and Expanded Media from Illinois State University.

My current areas of interest and research include: leadership, photography, design, weight training, jiu jitsu, geometry, eastern philosophy, Christian mysticism, and human consciousness.

I currently live in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
