Originally from Connecticut, I had been considered an Art prodigy even in Elementary School. After graduation my first college training was at Paire School of Art in Hamden Connecticut and I supplemented this with course work at Yale University. Short on funds I dropped out in my third year and spent the next four as an Action VISTa Community Planner where I worker as resident artist & draftsman for architectural firms and community relations with Yale's BSAY.

That social political venue motivated me towards photography, so I headed off to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh to regrade back to an Associates in Multi Media with a specialization in Social Documentary & Photojournalism, although I was given special honors to participate in Chuck Hamilton's Nude Workshops.

After college including more course work at Yale, Frick Fine Arts, and U. Iowa, I ventured on my own to master chancery a traditional predecessor to calligraphy which I even now occasionally lecture on.

It may sound good but I'm still struggling on bread and butter, and also entertain ideas of choreographing Iaido which I am an expert in. On a more social note check me out on Facebook, Twitter or Flickr.
