I guess you could say that I’m a true farm boy at heart. Born in central Pennsylvania, I was raised by a family of beekeepers. “All hands on deck when collecting bugs,” my father used
to say. Working at a young age ingrained consistency, responsibility, and dedication into my mind and heart.

Growing older, but holding onto the memories of farm life, I decided to pursue an Agricultural Science degree. This led me all the way to Washington State where I developed a green thumb and a passion for environmentalism. After working in various positions around agriculture, I found that most of the work was quite independent.

Being the social bee that I am, and the team player I’ve always been, it only made sense to find a company like Paris. Valuing humility, open-mindedness, and empathy, I strive to bring a one-of-a-kind experience to the painting world, and all the friendly faces of the Twin Cities. I’m forever grateful, and always learning!
