About the Artist
What drives you to make the things you’re selling on Real Mart?
I think working at Real Art is one of the biggest motivating factors—seeing the cool projects that others create and the joy they get when their items sell. Afterall, what better way is there for someone to say 'man that's cool' than to buy it.
What creative project are you currently brainstorming?
Grobots and wind chimes top the list but there are certainly many more.
Who has been your greatest inspiration(s)—professionally or creatively (or both)?
My co-workers at Real Art Design Group, personally, professionally and creatively.

I've always been drawn to art. In junior high and high school, drawing, art history and specialized projects formed a strange dicotomy alongside football and wrestling. I graduated from the School of Advertising Art in Kettering, Ohio. From there, design, illustration and a love for taking things apart would serve as a foundation for a career as a production designer and manager for a variety of Dayton's creative companies.
Life has reached an age of transition for me. Having started at an early age my children, Dallas (19) and Bailey (16) are pretty self-sufficent and only really need me when there's a problem or they need cash. I live in Piqua, Ohio with my two dogs, Mojo and Jinx.
When not working on project for Real Art, I'm pulled in many different directions. From spending time with my girlfriend, her family and my own, to just about anything outdoors. I enjoy time in the woods, riding my four-wheeler, fishing, cutting wood, watching movies and working on my collection of tattoos.
