I grew up in Clearwater, Florida close to the beach. I went swimming a lot, hung out in parking lots of strip malls, went to music shows and ran around with friends causing trouble. I started taking pictures. Then went to college at the University of Florida, began making videos and sculptures. Then joined a circus and ran off with them, causing more awesome trouble. We were called Cloud Seeding Circus of the Performative Object. Then I ran away to Germany to lead bike tours one summer and my travels took me to New York. Home. I started to paint and draw. I have been living in New York for almost a decade. My house burned down on Super Bowl Sunday of 2004, the same night Sto and I decided to start a gallery. Six years later Cinders Gallery is still going. It is on a nice street. It keeps me busy and inspired. You can usually find me there…
