Biographical

b. 1966, Detroit, MI

I have lived, worked and taught throughout the U.S. and Iceland; where I visited as a Fulbright Fellow.  My work has been exhibited throughout the Catskill and Hudson Valley regions of New York State, as well as across the U.S. and internationally in Iceland and Russia.  Recent notable accomplishments include an outdoor public screening of my video “Monitor” at the Ann Arbor Film Festival and being selected to participate in the NYFA MARK 10 professional development program for artists.  Currently I live with my wife and family deep in the Catskills, in the small town of Phoenicia where I continue to contemplate, document and respond to my surroundings.
