About Me

First, my OTHER webpage: WWW.INDUSTRIALANGELS.COM - This site is mainly a gallery site to highlight my art and photography.

My name is Kevin, and I am a happily married artist and photographer living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work for one the world's greatest video game companies, Capcom doing web design. I currently live in Oakland (but hopefully that will change soon). My wife Christine and I were married on April 2nd, 2005 in a lovely ceremony atop the hills of Saratoga overlooking the Silicon Valley. Our closest friends and family attended the beautiful ceremony, which ended as the sun set over the hills. Christine and I now live with two neurotic cats and a handful of rats.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Chad Michael Ward - I hear he is really cool and that he has 'connections' if you know what I mean...

James Randi and Penn and Teller for the exact same reason, I am fascinated by their perspective and their knowledge. This one I can blame on my brother. Well, maybe blame is the wrong word...

Ayn Rand I think would have been amazing to meet.

David Gilmour just so I could sit and watch him play his guitar and bask in the sheer joy of his amazing music.
