Following my thirty-years on Wall Street, my wife and I relocated to the Monterey Peninsula in 1997 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 was a college Art History junkie and became deeply immersed in the Art world during the time my wife worked at Sotheby’s.  I’ve been fortunate to receive guidance and encouragement from family, friends, artists, gallery owners, museum professionals and collectors – my thanks to all of them.
