I was born in Washington D.C. in 1954, the year Elvis Presley recorded his first record. I consider myself a child of rock and roll. Being part of the original baby boomers, I enjoyed my formative years watching the transformation of this country through the sixties. My immediate peers were heavily involved in music which included being in bands, touring, and producing recordings.

Mix this with an innate ability to seek out new connections, I eventually threw in with a group of downtown artists who were renovating buildings in questionable D.C. neighborhoods. Each of us had a particular skill, and I was the painter guy. After a while, watching other people create art was not enough for me. So, at some point in 1990 I made my first wooden stretcher, stretched canvas on it and began painting.
