Recently graduating from York University in Toronto I finished with an honours degree in Humanities. The study of Humanities encompasses a mixture of International History, International Film History, Art History, Religious studies, and International Literature Studies. My course selection focused primarily on the film aspect of the program but this included content on all the different Humanities areas of study.

I work a couple of jobs. During the summer months I work for the Clublink Golf Corporation.  In the winter I work at a couple of ski hills. For last 10 years I have been a ski instructor at Snow Valley in Barrie, as well as Devil's Glen Country Club near Collingwood. In 2008 I decided I need a change of pace and started working a Mount St. Louis Moonstone midweek and continued to working at Devils Glen on weekends coaching a ski racing team of 11 and 12 year old athletes.

When I originally applied for University I planned to go for visual arts but, after taking a few art classes I decided that it wasn't really for me. The focus that the school emphasized was not what I was looking for.  I don’t feel the need to make a social commentary through my artwork.  In 2009 I applied to several graphic design schools throughout Ontario with the intent of returning to school for a more practical education that could lead to a career in the arts.

Like any artist, I would love to be able to make some profit off of my skills. I realize that as a full time artist it is very hard to make the money needed to survive but, as a hobby, something I do on the side, any money I can make off my skills is just a bonus. So, with that in mind, don't hesitate to contact me with regards to commissions of any sort; be they sculpting, painting, digital manipulation or miniature painting or converting. I am open to discuss ideas, costs, time required, and feasibility. If I don't think I can do it, I know several others in design and art related fields that I'm sure would love to help.
