Bio I'm a native New Yorker who moved to San Francisco in 1978. I love art, design and photography. Overall the sun, beaches and surf are the reasons I love California. I hale from a family of musicians and medical professionals. Formally employed with the Motion Picture Industry in L.A. as a set painter. Art Director in the advertising world for twelve years. I owned a company PDA, dreams of the future reality today thru PDA. We promoted bands, models, designed for advertising agencies and retailers. Currently I save lives and protect people for a living. The job is not as glamorous but lots of action every day. Education I have a four year design degree. I have strong family values. I share these values every day with others that touch my life. I contribute to others one person at a time by sharing and giving. Future plans become a rancher/ cowboy and ride off into the sun.

Music:

_____________________ I dream of space and sometime I want to be a Space Cowboy. I awake and come back to the real reality. I'm just drifting out on the open plains. A true Cowboy with no direction searching to fine a place. A place where a man can put down roots and call home. (Below) Historic western sites in the USA circa 1900's. The West lives on in our hearts and minds.
I love all music, I enjoy Jazz, Rock, R&B, Soul, Blues, Country, Classical and Metal. I think I need a tattoo! Congratulations for America, Lets Win the next one. We need to keep America strong for Americans. Peace and love to everyone. Congratulations Senator Obama we are one and we can cross the isles of differences.

Books:

I enjoy prose literature. "The Old Man By The Sea", a great Author Ernest Hemingway I enjoyed his writings. Later the book was made into a move. My favorite Author Ray Bradbury, One of his literary works "The Tattooed Man", is a favorite of mine. Also Edgar Allen Poe "The Tell Tail Heart." A Movie made in 1966, The book "Fahrenheit 451" very inspirational. Many inventions came from this book. The great Artist H.R. Geiger, his drawings were used to make the movie "Aliens." I enjoyed viewing H.R. Geiger’s bk. "Necronomicon." I worked in LA with the artist from Aliens on the movie "Guilty by Suspicion", with Robert De Niro. This Film was a challenging experience and life changing. ______________ Remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
