who am I?

A life-long artist. Gen X, Born in Hawaii to 2 artist parents. Some say I got a bit of each in me. Mom said I was great with proportions until I started kindergarten and began drawing like the other kids. I grew up in Hollywood when mom was on Laugh In. Then we lived in San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. At 19 I went to South Carolina to be a missionary for 2 years. I later became a commercial artist, was married and became a dad, designed and built some rocking chairs before moving on to Studio City and making independent films with an artsy eye, or so I was told. Cinematography was always interesting to me. I shot and edited about 5 feature films and hundreds of short films and commercials. One thing always remained consistent in my life, Art. How to experience something inside of a rectangle. “Our little lives get complicated.It’s a simple thing. Simple as a flower and that’s a complicated thing.” Love and Rockets

Below: One of the oak rockers I designed and built. They are 4” extra wide so my daughters could sit next to me.
