I've had a number of jobs in my life: pilot, ship driver, programmer, and management. However, I wanted to engage in more creative pursuits so I decided to turn my eye toward painting, photograpy and graphic design, each of which supports the other and all of which give me a great deal of pleasure.

I am self taught with most of my artistic education coming from studying the work of nineteenth century impressionists and photographers as well as contemporary realist painters and graphic designers.

I live with my lovely wife Caroline in Pioneer Square, Seattle, Washington.
