He’s had many jobs over the years, the last three of which were teaching English in Shanghai to 1st and 2nd graders, working at Lock and Dam #1, and managing the art department at the Science Museum of Minnesota for 18 years. He is now retired and, in his words, “devoting myself to exploring creativity though my sketchbooks.”
