In a nut shell: Grew up in the Walled Lake/Novi area, quit school in the 11th grade(1975),worked in a factory, moved with company to West Michigan(Holland), went back to get my G.E.D in 1995 and then enrolled at Kendall College of Art & Design in 1996, did the 11 year program. Graduated winter 2006 with a BA. I have always loved taking pictures and working with my hands. Just didn't know where to go with it. Still looking and learning.
