Bio
I am a sculptor who engages my imagination through the creation of large-scale, colorful, interactive objects and spaces. My work is intended to stimulate audience interaction – it’s meant to be touched, climbed on and played with!

I only received one gift at graduation: a pair of scissors.
My brothers and I were raised in Appalachia, a region that was once the western border of the United States, satirized as “red neck,” and anthropologically documented in the FoxFire chronicles. In 1964, it became the site for President Lyndon B. Johnson’s war on poverty. We grew up in Montgomery County, home to one of the state's land grant universities, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, known more commonly and simply as Virginia Tech. The local community was a strange blend of the highly-educated and backwoods moonshiners.
