The title defines my life and the greatness of GOD, as well as the never-say-die effort of the human spirit. Having faced many tragedies and reasons to quit, I continued to believe I could overcome.

I am a UNITED STATES NAVY veteran, served on board the USS IOWA ( BB-61). I’ve traveled to countries all over the world, and people have one defining characteristic: Resilience. We have all made it through something.

I create artwork in mediums such as acrylic, graphite pencils, and my favorite, Soft pastel. I focus on the emotional content of my subject and transfer it to canvas so my audience can relate.
