CAD drawing is Young’s third interest. He creates 3D objects and pictures in a 2D format through wiremesh and shaded solid designs. This artistic concept came from his career as a geologist for coal mines, where he used computer-assisted drawing software to create maps.

Young’s most recent award was First Place in Photography for his photo “Rock House Interior” at RCAA’s 7th Annual Juried Exhibition.
