BIOGRAPHY

Although I’ve always had an interest in sketching and architecture I've had no formal art training outside of an art class in high school as well as the abundance of information available in books and online. Over the last 15 years or so I have made a living as a draftsman, aircraft dispatcher for Continental as well as a sailor although 90 percent of that time was as a civil engineering draftsman. I was a music performance major in college on the trumpet and taught private lessons as well as playing around town in various jazz bands, orchestras as well as ensembles from the university. My personal taste for art usually leans towards classical realism although I appreciate all forms of creativity outside of painting including music, architecture, classic wooden yachts, film, sculpture, pottery and the list could go on and on and possibly become quite boring!
