Solo and two-person exhibitions include Good Children Gallery (New Orleans, LA), Chicago Artists Coalition (Chicago, IL), and The Rangefinder Gallery (Chicago, IL). He received his MFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design and his BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design. He lives and works in Brooklyn.
