I am a native Californian, born in Los Angeles and raised in Hollywood, my mother was an editorial model for the legendary Peter Gowland. She later became a radio disc jockey for KMPC during the 1950's. My step-father, the late Raymond D. Bowman, was a classical and world music concert impresario who owned an art gallery in Beverly Hills in the 1960s. Later in life, he was a noted writer and music critic for the "South Bay Daily Breeze".A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, I was trained as a graphic designer and producer for training films and worked for the Aerospace Audio-Visual Service. After discharge I was self-employed for the next couple of decades in San Francisco as a freelance graphic designer and created numerous posters, brochures, print ads and collateral materials. I also enjoyed three one-man art exhibitions of my fine art and photography. I also worked for 2 great companies there... Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and American Protective Services.Returning to my Southern California roots a dozen years ago, I obtained my degree in Multimedia. In the years since then, I gained valuable experience with two well-known advertising agencies in San Diego and soon established my own agency in Palm Springs, which provides high-end print advertising, high end web design and professional studio photography.I have been a freelance writer for the past 5 years and have had several of my works published in various magazines. A long time fan of old Hollywood and classic film I have now turned to screenwriting and I am currently co-writing 1 feature length movie being filmed later this year and I am writing the scipts for 2 short films, as well.
