CURRENT MISSION

Teaching and making art

ABOUT ME

I am a professor of Art at the University of South Florida in Tampa. I am an avid skydiver. I love to travel and meet new people. I have toured with several bands and lived in all kinds of communal living spaces so i am easy going and accustomed to all sorts of couches (when we were lucky enough to not have to sleep on the floor or in the van.)

PHILOSOPHY

i would rather regret doing something than not doing something.
