I use the term “artist” very loosely. This is more of a weekend hobby than it is art. Call it whatever you wish.

           I use the term “artist” very loosely. This is more of a weekend hobby than it is art. Call it whatever you wish.

          I’m from Fort Worth, Texas and have lived in Texas most of my life, with the exception of some short stints in Lubbock, Denver, Kansas City, and Oklahoma City. After graduating from high school, I attended TexasTech University, where I majored in Landscape Architecture, and later Park Administration. After graduating Tech I went to work for 3 years in Houston, where I was lucky enough to find my wife Annie. Houston didn’t really set well with me however, and the lure of Fort Worth made me pack my things and bring her back with me to “Cowtown”. We have been married now for over 25 years and have 2 sons.

          My designs are inspired by the old west, Native-American, and Tex-Mex cultures. They basically reflect my environment. I like working with old barn wood and barbed wire. I also enjoy decorating animal skulls in the Native-American style with paint, beads, leather, and feathers. None of my work is “mass produced”. I make them 1 at a time and at my own slow pace. Even when I copy something I’ve already done it comes out a little different each time.

          My idea of heaven? I’m sitting in a rustic run-down beer garden with my wife and my friends. On the table in front of me is a massive plate of Tex-Mex. On the stage in front of us are the likes of Guy Clark, Joe Ely, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, and others like them. There’s a good-lookin’ waitress with an endless supply of margaritas. (on the rocks – not frozen)  What could be better than that?

          Enjoy the work,
