I've always been an innovator in the way that I solve problems. When I was young, I was not allowed to make wooden swords. So I invented the paper sword. When I wasn't allowed to have a play gun, I made one out of a rocking chair arm and a broomstick.

While at college, one of my favorite activities was coloring my bedsheets with crayons. These massive artistic expressions required my buying sheets often.

I graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor of science in Physical Science with a major emphasis in Mathematics.

As a teen, I became a thing photographer. I bought a close-up lens and took pictures of patterns.

• Barbed Wire

• Wood

• Cactus

My creativity included designing and constructing.

• Carpet Animals

• Solid Modeling Illustration

• Stuffed Animal Design

• Computer Graphics

I got a copy of Adobe Illustrator nine. It would not sequence the graphic transformations I wanted. I wrote custom macros for illustrator to do the graphics transformations I wanted. Then I wrote a Perl script that would write macros for me that I would import into illustrator and to complex graphic designs. I produced a coloring book using my Illustrator macros.

At a USD alumni event, I met Dr. Joyce Spencer. She invited me to speak at the STEAM Academy about how my math makes art. I decided I wanted to be a presenter at the STEAM Academy. I took the next year to learn HTML 5, typescript, angular, CSS, and Python. I wanted the students at the STEAM Academy to be able to play with the math in my interface and make art. In 2018 I published the first MATHART app on the MATHART.us website. That summer I presented my hands-on workshop to the STEAM Academy. ion.

Over the past eight years I have made modifications to MATHART and it continues to be available free and online.
