I enrolled in college as a music major but found I was truly devoted to art. Before long, I took sculpture as an elective. Within a year, I was working in a bronze foundry: and one year after that I received my Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University. My love of sculpture began as a child. Although I would not admit it then, I was attracted to the artist with the hammer and chisel. I find something magical about the blow of the chisel on the stone. However, as magical as this is, uncovering what has always been inside the stone is my challenge.

My purpose is to evoke through sculpting an emotion, a spirit, or a feeling that others can relate to, the glory of the soaring eagle to the tenderness of the timid cottontail to the tragedy and nobility of mankind.
