I'm an artist, new to Philadelphia, and originally from Texas.

Assertive, intelligent, kind, hard-exterior/soft-interior, hard-working. I've been told I'm a gentleman. I try. I model my public persona after pop-culture icons (which really concerns me). I admire men like Paul Newman characters, men on the cover of Men's Adventure novels, and Dracula.

I have an animated personality and a very wild imagination, that can only stem from years of entertaining myself.

After a cup of coffee, you can often find me singing loudly alone in a room. Random songs like "Kentucky Woman" or "All That She Wants" by Ace of Base. Always in a goofy radio-DJ voice.

After I clean a small open area at work or in my house, I like to do a celebration dance. Directly in the middle of the room. Preferably a pelvic thrust, or the Stanky Leg. Practice makes perfect.

I just graduated from a masters program (Which makes me the smartest person in the world). I recently finished a month-long artist-residency in Venice, IT. I'm currently working a job that has very little to do with my education. In hopes that I can gain some 'real' life experiences. All the while investing in an art-making facility and art-product line. And, coincidentally, finishing my plans for world domination.

Embarrassing myself and others in public.
