When I was a kid, I wanted to be an Astronaut.

As a teenager, I wanted to design album covers.

After high school, I enrolled at the School of Visual Arts in NY, but changed my mind at the last moment to pursue a liberal arts degree at a small college on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. I thought writing should be my first calling.

Well I never finished my first, second or third novel. However, I have actually designed a couple of commercial album covers, and a bunch of books. I've published a few articles and illustrations in a handful of magazines, but for 21 years I made a living working in the high tech world.

Though I’ve met a bunch of rock stars over the years, I oddly don't have any photos of them. Many of my friends are musicians and I hope they remember me when the make it big…I still want to design album covers for a living.
