As long as I can remember I’ve been interested in two things, art and golf.   Both are things I became passionate about as a child and I’m fortunate to be able to continue these into my adult life.     

Currently I’m a High School Art teacher where I also coach the Boys High School Golf team and during my summer months I still try to compete at the state level in amateur golf events.  

My artwork has always been a wide variety of things such as portraits and cityscapes, but most recently I have settled in on painting golf course landscapes.  Painting golf courses has allowed me to combine my two passions in a very unique way and has been a really fun outlet for me these past few years.    

The majority of my work centers around the idea of capturing the visual experience,  that moment in time that we all try to remember but so easily forget.   My unique style and use of bright bold color transforms these moments and brings them back to life on a canvas for everyone to see.    

Thanks for checking out my page and feel free to contact me at anytime if you are interested in working together.
