Art has always been an important part of my life but for the past 40 years it was just a hobby. I spent that time developing products at all levels (designer, engineer, project manager, program manager, director) for large and small companies in Silicon Valley. I always did art on the side. I often used art in my engineering and design work - especially useful in early conceptual work.

Since starting art fulltime in October 2025, I was juried into the New Works exhibition at the Harrington Gallery in Pleasanton. I was also juried into this summer’s Alameda County Fair Adult Art showcase.

I’ve always had a passion for vintage Porsches and architecture. I try to include architecture and people to capture the mood of the gathering rather than solely focusing on the cars. I love working with people to create meaningful art pieces and have completed several successful commissions.

My favorite medium is watercolor but I also create digital illustrations using pixel based paint programs.
