Where did you grow up?

I was born and grew up in Parma, Ohio. I graduated from Valley Forge High School, which had at the time the best art program in the area. One of my art teachers, Dan Mihuta, went on to work in TV, in shows called The Art Chest, The Art Maker, and Return of the Art Maker.

Where did you go to college?

I went to Findlay College, BGSU, and the U. of Dayton. I try to attend at least one clay conference per year.

Did you always plan to be an artist and to teach art?
