I am a free lance artist, builder, tinkerer, maker living near Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA.
I am a twice college dropout with 45 years experience making things and experimenting on the fringe of art and technology. When I was 12 or 13 I taught myself electronics by reading every book on the subject in the Fayetteville Public Library. In 1984, I taught myself 6502 assembly code, and I have been dabbling in programming ever since. I still feel I am learning new things every day, and I try to keep current and adapt my knowledge. I have built lots of circuits and machines and things to go in people's houses both utilitarian and fanciful. I have been exploring organic forms in 3D modeling software and the 3D printing pathway. Sometimes I paint or draw or even write. I love to collaborate because even though I have plenty of my own ideas, new perspectives are refreshing and invigorating. I have been teaching lately because it turns out makers have valuable skills to pass on, and who doesn't love having a captive audience!
