Before retiring from the United States Army, my time was spent training future Army Officers.

While running with our cadets early morning at University South Florida St. Petersburg, I realized I had never seen an art center that focused on military and veteran artists. That was my “aha” moment.

My thoughts then became my next mission: to pioneer a center for mental health / healing / suicide prevention through the use of art as an alternative therapy. I answered my call to action and built the Veterans Art Center Tampa Bay where we create powerful synergies for our community’s service members, responders, and their families.

It is my hope that together, we will selflessly celebrate, honor and commemorate the men and women that serve; past, present and future as we grow beyond our 10th year.
