First and foremost, I am a Christian. Often my faith will be reflected in what I paint or draw and will always have an influence on all that I do. It gives me great joy to use any gifts God has given me to further His Kingdom. |

| Second, I am 57 (egad) years old (just turned) and am happily married to a kind, compassionate mother of three--with 3, no 5 grandchildren soon to be 7 by Christmas (hard to keep count). | |
| Until September of 1998 I had a 35 year career going in video and film production, including writing, directing and producing commercial and educational programming at a couple major universities and production companies here in the East. Then, I did what many folks my age wish they could do. The previous few years my yearning was to write stories and illustrate them in 3D graphics (sparked by the fascination in Myst and Riven ). So after talking in my sleep for a couple years my best buddy (my wife) said, "Why'ncha quit?" | |
| I thought, "gee... if I could take a year or so off and learn digital arts with Bryce 3D and Painter and Photoshop and write stories and put it all together with Director... I could publish to the Web or CD's...gee...and besides, aah, I discovered this great other way to share information- "multimedia"! Aaarrrghhhhhh! " |
So I did!
