Grew up in beautiful Sussex County, New Jersey (Newton), went to Lock Haven State College and then moved to the SF Bay Area in 1982. Have been a computer programmer since then. I was the 130th employee at Oracle.
In 2006, walked into Aria in SF and purchased a work by Jack Howe www.jackhowe.net and was hooked on Assemblage. His work reminded me of my childhood friend - Mark Vincent Gray - because we started the Monster Club - and spent hours (pre 4th grade) drawing monsters. He is now a very well known artist - does the programs for the San Jose Sharks www.marksartworld.com/ .
Still having fun these days - I've met lots of very nice people on flickr. My wife - who is a culinary artist and weaver (on an antique loom) and who shares my passion for art is the best companion I could ever ask for.
My son's Graham and Trevor are quite the artists - and quite the characters.

You have the eye of a master recycler glorifying the most fabulous treasures, oddiments, rusty bits and pieces, giving them the respect they deserve. I can smell my childhood, my eyes are fully nourished and my heart swells. Tha… Read more
