About Me

I am a family man. I've been married to my best friend, Cathy since 1990. We have been blessed with 3 children...Jim, Stephen and Rachel. I love to spend time at home. Family is the most important thing in my life. I've been a printer since 1989, and I love graphic arts, especially computer graphics. I am multi-faceted in my interests. I love to create.

My Interests

My Hobbies:
Spending time with my wife and children
Fishing-especially for rockfish. There's nothing more relaxing. It's also a good time for introspection

Woodworking-building furniture is my favorite
Billiards-been playing since I was a kid. We have a 1870's Brunswick Victor pool table

Photography-My specialty is people. I also have some beautiful landscape photos. I prefer film over digital.
Playing guitar and drums-I have a Les Paul copy and a Yamaha acoustic. Used to have Ludwig drums. Music has always been an important part of my life. I've played in 3 or 4 bands in my life. We played at talent shows and parties.

Drawing and painting-I love to draw people. I like drawing with pencil above all. Usually when I paint, it ends up being landscapes.
Writing-I havent written in awhile, but I have notebooks full of poetry and songs that I have written.

Creating web pages-I guess I like this myspace thing mostly because of the designing part of it. I also have some yahoo webpages. Anything to do with art interests me.
I love barbeques. My favorite is London Broil marinated and grilled.I also love seafood, especially crabs and steamed shrimp. I love imported beer and red wine.
