I attended the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale where I studied

Industrial design.

I started out at Skyline Design in Chicago Il.
where I worked on large sculptures for the Portillos group, Atlantis resorts, and other various outdoor,
intallations.
I then spent 7.5 years at Rehkemper Invention and

For the past 13 years I have been doing toy sculpture and prototyping for companies such as The Learning Curve(Tomy), Hasbro, Wilton, Berlin Packaging, Matrex Exhibits, and Radio Flyer.
