II have loved art since childhood. I remember my dad wanting me to play competitive sports, and while I did participate in wrestling, football, and gymnastic, I always found a way back to my place of creative expression. I majored in biology and minored in art at the University of Northern Colorado. It is there that I met and married Milli. We have shared dreams and unique life experiences for over 50 years. We have been blessed with three remarkable and gifted children and six astonishing grandchildren who give us joy and make us proud. I am grateful for the opportunity to have taught high school biology and to have coached wrestling and gymnastics. I have served on the pastoral staff of a local church, owned a handyman business, and lived in the mountains of Boquete, Panamá. And now, in my 8th decade of life, I am launching Redemptive Art to fulfill a dream, a destiny, and to leave a legacy to those that I love. Thank you for sharing the journey with me.
