I, Nathan Truitt, was born in Birmingham Alabama. I graduated from Shades Valley high school in 2003 with an advanded diploma. I was always interested in art, music and the idea of self expression, so naturally I took as many art classes in high school as possible. After high school I moved away, joined a rock band and spent many years playing music and enjoying life. I realized after a while that I wanted to go back to school, so I enrolled in Jefferson State Community College where I earned my associated degree. After Jeff State I applied to the University of Alabama at Birmingham from which I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree. With the completion of my Bachelors degree I now plan to apply to grad school in order to aquire my Masters degree so I can be eligable to become a teacher.
