I was born in 1964, in Germany while my mother was staying there. An american citizen born abroad. We moved around alot while I was growing up, this gave me more experiences than your average kid.I have always been good with my hands , able to express my self creativly . I started out shy and quiet , over the years I lost most of the shy part.I still tend to let my artwork talk for me .I spent most of my life drawing. It was not untill I was in my thirties that I started to do much with the leather . I made things for myself before that ,but I did not get serious about the leather work untill later.The first show I did I only had $600.00 worth of stock and I sold all but two pieces. I have come along way since then and I have a long way to go yet ,but I can see my gaol up ahead.
