I grew up on a ranch in rural West Texas. My love of art and boredom of living in the middle of nowhere sparked my interest in leather around the age of 16. I am self taught with the help of Youtube tutorials and online leather craft forums. I graduated from Texas Tech University in 2021 with a Bachelor's Degree in Art Eduction with an emphasis in drawing. I have been tooling leather for 7 years now and strive to continue furthering my skills and creativity.
