I began painting the summer of 2000 and apprenticed under Bobby Tucker for the next three years. We worked primarily on custom estates in Central Ohio. In 2003 I took the baton and continued intermediately all through University, growing in craftsmanship and business acumen. I completed a degree in International Development Studies and Minored in General Business from Ohio State. After that time I dabbled in food service, social entrepreneurship, home remodeling, writing, management, business development, and still, The Search continues.
