I graduated from Cannon Falls, MN. After graduating, I worked at Gemini Inc. in their plastic letter plant for a year and then went to Dakota Co. Tech. College for a two year degree in Visual Merchandising (which led to my long term career). In between my 1st and 2nd year there in school, I was a factory rep for Gemini, traveling in a used car they provided me, loaded with letter samples along with camping gear. Yes, I stayed in a tent and cooked over a camp stove in campgrounds with showers. I made cold calls door to door without appointments. In a positive way this shaped who I am today and the success I found in my career.
After graduating, I spent a couple years in the printing industry doing litho-prep (by hand). I spent the next 38 years in the trade show business with Skyline Displays, selling exhibits and large format graphics. I worked with some great people and customers over the years and learned a lot.

With inspiration from other artists, I took up painting in 2019. When COVID happened in 2020, it completely shut down the trade show business for nearly 18 months. With nothing but time and confinement, I started painting more to further develop my skills. When trade shows came back I eventually had less time to paint than ever due to changes and realignment in our business model. I made the decision to leave my career so I could focus on my paintings more. I enjoy the process of painting artwork, but I also enjoy the art of selling. Selling something you created with your own hands is quite rewarding.
Many of my paintings are places I enjoy being. These paintings take a lot of patience (something fishing taught me), but I get to listen to my favorite music while I paint and that's a great place to be.
