Resume
I am a human, husband, father, vegan, bike commuter, disabled veteran and brain cancer survivor. Much of my work revolves around my awareness of leaving a legacy for my children. I strive to make the right choices as a consumer in order to be a good example for them. I attempt to be aware of America’s foreign policy blunders and successes in order to be an informed American citizen. Themes in my work often revolve around environmental activism, war, peace, politics, the technological singularity and social justice.
I defined myself as a painter for over fifteen years while working as a web and graphic designer. After my first awake craniotomy, I lost some awareness in my left hand. Months later I realized my creative interests had changed from painting to writing. I have found poetry to be much like painting. Through poetry I paint with meter, metaphor and cadence. Through poetry I explore the boundaries of blogging and social media as an ever evolving art form. Through poetry my studio is within.
