I was raised on the "mean streets" of Cleveland's Little Italy. Almost became a Catholic priest until I saw Marylin Monroe in "Some Like It Hot".

I went to college late in life and was deemed a "renaisance man" by the humanities department.

My influences are as diverse as Federico Fellini, Todd Rundgren, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Vincent Van Gogh, Dali, Quan Yin, Buddha and most of all a simple carpenter from Nazereth.

I am now an old knight, returned from the quest, searched for the grail, fought the devil, kissed an angel and looked for beauty in the modern world. My art / photography ( is there a difference? ) is a reflection of that search.
