Illustrator and writer of fiction and poetry occupationally hovering in the advertising ghettos of Minneapolis & Saint Paul, Minnesota. I can be more or less defined by my role as a Dad; a single parent with sole custody of my three exuberant children, who live with me in my home. My life is a paradoxical roller coaster of hellacious joy and insightful befuddlement, and were it not for my buoyant, easy going nature, I would most assuredly have lost my sanity years ago.
I value a good pipe, a stout pint, and consider myself a purist when it comes to single malt highland Scotch - which for me is not a tool of inebriation, but rather an enlightened repast to be shared with colleagues and like-minded pedagogues of philosophy and hob-knobbing banter.
I am a contemplative, spiritual man of consideration who values intelligence, wit, justice and touch. I do not shy away from a good fight, and have had a few brawls in my day - whether on my behalf or in defense of another - and, were times different, would most probably be known wide and abroad as an expert swordsman. However, in keeping with my paradoxical nature, I prefer employing words over weapons, wit above profanity, spirituality above religion, stalwartness above inconstancy. And as I grow older, my burgeoning jaded cynicism is wholly tempered by my desire to not become an ass. My humor is wry, my mind is fertile, and my love is deep.

I have always said, rather tongue-in-cheek, that I am raising my children to keep them out of therapy when they turn thirty - a lofty goal, that keeps me precariously just and open-minded. Divorce is an incredible hardship on kids, and they need their Dad to be vigilant beyond the norm. My twin girls are fifteen - ahhh, adolescence!! And my son is dwelling in the world of Kindergarten - a man in the making. Now there's responsibility.

MY BUSINESS ENDEAVORS.....
"When forty winters shall beseige thy brow, Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest..."
"...what have I accomplished that is lasting and worthwhile...?"
I have asked myself that question many times over during the past few years, and this is where I've come... In 2005, after being a lover of Shakespeare for most of my adult life, I created Project 1599 , a company that is actively engaged in constructing a full-scale, historical re-creation of William Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, originally built in London, England in 1599. We are working closely with a city in the northern tier of the Minneapolis, Minnesota metro area. We plan to break ground for the theatre in spring of 2007. Also planned is the introduction of the Minnesota Shakespeare Faire, as well as a pub/restaurant/dinner theatre to be opened on the same site.
