I have spent most of my professional life as a marketing and retail executive, overseeing creative services in print media, advertising, design and merchandising. I was with Polo Ralph Lauren for 11 years. Currently, I am a sales and marketing executive with Aerios Direct, a marketing management company in Golden, Colorado.

I live in Denver, Colorado with my wife, two children and Fenway, our sheltie. I maintain a studio in my house and continue my painting career with commissions, illustrations and private teaching. In the future I will continue to attend mentor workshops and nurture gallery representation. It is my sincere belief that one day I will paint full time.
