I am a Professor at San Jose State University in California. I teach creative track on the Advertising Program. Loving the sunshine, the surf and the clean air of the Santa Cruz mountains. Going back to the beginning ... I trained as a Graphic Fine Artist and practised as a printmaker and photographer .... essentially image making, at times to commission but more often than not to my own demands. Following a stint teaching art in High School, I went back to Uni and completed a Design History Degree, a Masters in Art and Design History and began a career in Higher Ed. It is only over recent years that I have rediscovered my image making and practise this outside of the day job. Married, two kids and a dog, I love the surf, the wilderness and great outdoors .... to a rocky soundtrack.
