The Ohio Artist Registry (OAR) is an exciting opportunity for artists to share their work, connect with the creative community, and establish an online presence—all on a free, virtual platform! The OAR encourages artists working in all art forms, throughout Ohio and beyond, to create a profile, which allows them to better promote themselves and their work. Being listed in the OAR provides artists with new opportunities to share their work with clients, galleries, patrons, and audiences. A listing in the OAR does not confer an endorsement, approval, or verification by the Ohio Arts Council.

Growing up in an Air Force family, he lived in multiple states and countries, exposing him to a variety of cultures and environments, before settling in Cincinnati, Ohio for high school. He earned a BFA at the Art Academy of Cincinnati with an emphasis in sculpture before learning to be a designer at a small family-run studio.
He moved to Chicago in 2010, where he met the founders of Freeosk, Inc., a company dedicated to helping people discover new favorites. He is named in some of their design patents.
In 2015, he founded the U.S. Pizza Museum which has a mission of inspiring curiosity and new ways of thinking about the rich history and recent devbelopments in the world of pizza by collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting pizza-related items.
