Instructor Brief Bio
Born and raised on an isolated island on New Jersey's southern shore, I spent most of my childhood shaking sand from my shoes in the summer and trying to stay warm in the winter. I dreamed of going places more exciting and warmer year-round.

After majoring in art in college, I finally set out to California, where I knew I belonged. I have had a variety of careers but all have centered around art.
The short list includes making my living by:

  • traveling around to craft shows and selling hand-painted clothing
  • working at a variety of newspapers and magazines as a graphic artist, photographer and a sometime tortured writer
  • working as a freelance sports photographer (mostly professional tennis)
  • working as a freelance graphic artist (private clients, designing logos, letterhead, brochures and newsletters)
  • having a manufacturing business (still current) where I design and make gift items for wineries and breweries

I have been working as a Web designer since I entered SRJC's Web Design Program in January 1999. I received my Web Design Certificate in May 2000.

I find learning HTML and other programming languages fun. I look at them as a language like French or Italian. However, with HTML, you can control what people see much faster than you could with any spoken language.

I currrently serve on two boards:
1. President, North Bay Multimedia Association. Many great meetings. Check out site (www.nbma.com).
2. Russian River County Water District since 1983. We run our local water district for about 1100 households.
