Artist Biography

A brief overview of the artist behind the website

Born: November, 16, 1964

Hometown: Rochester, NY

I began drawing, early in life. My father was a commercial artist. The “art gene” is in my bloodline. I have learned and improved over the years through practice and self-learning.

I try to balance the analytic and creative. My education is diverse, with a B.A. in English and Studio Arts, and a B.S. in Computer Science. 

I have lived in England, Iowa, Florida, and Long Island.

While in my twenties, I worked a handful of trades at miscellaneous jobs. Since my early thirties, I have been a software engineer, including over twenty years of employment between Eastman Kodak in Rochester, then HBO in NYC/Long Island. 

Writing code and working on my art keep me focused and busy.

Currently, I live and work in my house/studio, a Charles Eastlake Gothic Revival, in Rochester, NY. 

I ponder the study of consciousness and quantum physics.

My hobbies include: reading, writing, guitar, movies, running, resistance training, NFL Football (Buffalo Bills fan).
