Art has always been my passion. In 2008 I graduated with a BFA in painting and drawing from The Ohio State University. After teaching four years of art at the high school level I began working at Cypress Hill Winery in Mansfield. Armed with a knowledge of art & wine, Vine Art wine and paint parties were born!

Everyone has an artistic quality built into their personality. If not, we'd all be the same. Aesthetics come in many different forms. If you're open to creativity, you might surprise yourself!

I'm very fortunate to be doing what I love as my profession. A few positive transitions have improved my life while still allowing art to hold an important role. My beautiful bride, Chelsey and I were recently married in the spring of 2019 and I've settled into working behind the bar at our brand new Cypress Hill Winery. Art making by day, wine service by night! I look forward to creating either FOR, or WITH you in the future!
