One of my great joys is sharing my experience with students young and old.

As an educator, I have worked in higher education since 2016 at Butler University, and my alma-mater Indiana Wesleyan University. I teach drawing, illustration, storyboarding, book and game development, and a number of other courses to help prepare them for the art marketplace.

I have also enjoyed serving as a special topics speaker for K-12 students, in classrooms, home schools and churches. My goals are to inspire the continuation of a creative practice in every student.
