In 2009 and 2010 he was awarded “Best Editorial Cartoonist” by the Ohio Associated Press.  In 2010 he received the Good Citizen Award for his Editorial Cartoons from the Ohio House of Representatives.  He is a proud tribal member of the Sokaogon Chippewa Community if Northern Wisconsin.   

Next on the agenda is a free concert by DA Music Studios on Sat. June 22 at 4:00 p.m. on the Library lawn.   D.A.
