I started drawing when I was three years old, and I’ve been drawing and painting ever since. My passion has always been drawing aircraft and aviation-related topics. In my high school years, I started doing artwork for US Military flying units so I could swap my artwork for squadron patches and unit memorabilia, as well as getting up close and personal with military aircraft to take walkaround photos. In my Army career, I’ve done numerous pieces in various mediums, from pencil drawings to paintings covering many different topics. I have donated artwork to the Airborne and Special Operations Museum, the Wings of Eagles Discovery Center, the National Soaring Museum, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, and numerous US and Foreign Flying Units.
