This work was created from 1996 to 2005. I received my B.F.A. from Florida State University in 1997 in Tallahassee, Florida. I then moved to New York where I had a studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. While there I slept on top of a tub and had no heat in a non live/work space. In order to stay up with the Jone’s I showered at the Metropolitan Gym 11 blocks away on Bedford Ave. After living in poverty for a couple of years I moved to Park Slope, Brooklyn where I began working in web design while entering the dot com world until 911 occured. Three months after 911 I entered basic training for the U.S. Army at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
