Objective

Is to be occupied with my artwork. Hopefully I will be blowing glass, blacksmithing in Ocean View and substitute teaching in the Indian River School District. I am highly interested in my education and helping others learn to be more creative in their everyday life.

Interests and Activities

My interests vary from just about anything I come into contact. I enjoy being physical and admire hard work. I really enjoy creating; the medium is only a means.
