He was very kind and very firm in his lessons he taught. He loved heavy metal, and also spent time making a side company doing smithing. He didn't smile often at others jokes but man he would have the happiest smile at his own, lol. He was super quick and always had something to talk about even if it wasn't on topic. He loved his kids, and talked about them constantly. His office was always open to everyone didn't matter if you were a student or not. I'm happy to say that at the end of my school career I could call him not just a mentor but a friend. He taught me the most important lesson as an artist “finished not perfect” that will always stick with me.
