Following a thirty-year career on Wall Street, in 1997 my wife and I relocated to the Monterey Peninsula to pursue a lifestyle change.  In this new phase of my life, I’ve focused my attention and energy on raising money for nonprofit organizations, making music with friends and, most importantly, launching a second career as an artist.  While I’ve had no formal training, I took numerous Art History college courses and was heavily influenced by my exposure to the exciting New York auction market.  I’ve been fortunate to receive encouragement and guidance from family, friends, artists, gallery owners, museum professionals and collectors – my thanks to all of them.
