I grew up in Davenport, Iowa. Worked backstage and on stage in the Quad Cities until my migration to San Antonio, Texas in 1987. I've worked on a few shows here but currently pursuing the craft of pottery. I became certified to teach in 1992 and have been working as an Elementary Art teacher since 1997. I've finished my masters in curriculum in 2004. I am currently working with clay outside the classroom. I enjoy the discovery process and expect to be surprised for a very long time.
