I was born and grew up in Grinnell, Iowa.
I earned a BA in Art and Communication from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.
Go Norse Swimming and Diving!
I make sculpture, but enjoy throwing on the wheel. I worked in production for about three years at Banner Oak Pottery in New London, Minnesota. It was awesome.

I think camping is fun. 


So is picking fruit.
I recently completed my MFA in Ceramics at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. I'm currently teaching full-time there, and part-time at SUNY Fredonia.
I love spending time with my boys-






& Row.
