About Me

I'm a 35 Year old Police Officer and Artist. In 2006, I was able to make a life-long dream come true, and finally opened my own Art Studio. I specialize in wildlife art, but am capable of completing most any requested project.I get my artistic ability from my parents. My mother, Karen, is extremely talented, and has used nearly every type of media to create works of every kind, from painting to crafts. My father, Vance, started his career in drafting, only to be called to service in Vietnam in 1967. That cut his drafting career short, but led him to the Pennsylvania State Police (that's where I get my love of Law Enforcement).I learned to hunt from my father and refined my Turkey hunting and calling skills from my Uncle Richard "Red" Smith of Blain, PA. Uncle Red built some of the finest mouth calls from the 70's to the 90's. He made one of the first movies about wild turkeys about 28 years ago or so, and seems to know more about them than they do. I've had the pleasure of hunting with him, and he never ceases to teach me something new every time. I spent 8 years as an active duty USAF Security Policeman, with three of those years spent at Andrews AFB, Maryland as part of the Presidential Security Detail for William Jefferson Clinton. During my enlistment, I was in 13 countries and most of the states, and providing security for 3 presidents (Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush)and numerous foreign Heads of State. I was fortunate enough to have personally met the late King Hussein of Jordan, who was a great man. If you want to know what Hillary is really like, ASK. Please do so BEFORE you think it's a good idea that she becomes President. I've had more than enough contact with her to last me a lifetime. A weaker person might need therapy until hell freezes over after dealing with the most miserable, hateful woman on this earth.Thanks for taking a moment to read my profile.
