I grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, had a nice family, one brother. My parents paid for me to go to college. I did. Then I moved back to Chicago and real life began. I also began painting at that time. That was around 1996.

In 1999 I moved to Italy and studied sculpture under a deranged Irish priest who belonged to the Christian Brothers sect of the church. I met the official exorcist of the Pope and learned how to sculpt crucifixes. Not helpful. After that I moved back to Chicago and continued painting. By then I was into Modernist styles of art.

From there it's getting close to here. Wisconsin. I moved here in 2001 and haven't left. As things get closer you can't put them in context as easily. It all becomes a blur by 2011.
