Born in Denver, Colorado, I am an enrolled member of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe, a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and a former paratrooper. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in Studio Art.

​

My artistic practice began as a path to healing. Through the process of creating, I found a way to confront memory, trauma, identity, and resilience. What started as a personal journey has evolved into a broader purpose. Today, my work seeks to communicate, challenge, and inspire—transforming lived experience into visual narratives that carry meaning beyond myself. Through my art, I invite viewers to reflect on perseverance, human connection, and the stories that shape who we are.
