I have been a professional visual artist/painter, installation artist, and performance artist for 30 years now. I do not have any formal training in visual arts besides an art class I took in the 8th grade. I do have a Bachelor's degree in History of Art from The Ohio State University alone with Master of Library and Information Science degree specializing in Archival Science and Rare Books Librarianship from Kent State University, and an Associate of Arts degree focused on Humanities and Mental Health Services from Columbus State Community College.

This December 2022, I will be graduating from Regent University with a Master of Arts in Apologetics and Cosmogony with a focus in theology/philosophy of science in particle physics/astrophysics.

I am also a veteran of the U.S. Army, where I served as a Military Police during the Cold War and Gulf War.
