I WAS BORN IN THE SOUTHERN TIER OF UPSTATE NEW YORK. I ATTENDED A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THEN A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE I MAJORED IN ART .
WITH A PASSION FOR ART AND ARTIST, AND SOME ARTISTIC ABILITY OF MY OWN, I MADE WAY IN THE LOCAL SCENE QUITE EARLY ON. BY THE MID 1970's AND EARLY EIGHTIES I HAD WON A FEW AWARDS AND RECOGNITION FOR MY ART WORK AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. RECENTLY I STARTED TO DRAW AND PAINT AGAIN AND IT'S SOMETHING I REALLY ENJOY DOING, AND IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE ABLE TO PICKUP RIGHT WHERE I LEFT OFF 25 YEARS AGO.
MY DESIGNS HAVE BEEN WORN ON CLOTHING, BY ROCK STARS LIKE "PETER WOLF" FROM THE JAY GEILS BAND AND WERE OFFERED FOR SALE BY TOMMY HILFIGER, WHO WAS ALSO A LOCAL IN MY HOMETOWN AT THE TIME , AND WAS OPERATING A CLOTHING STORE CALLED "THE PEOPLES PLACE". I WAS BORN, LIVED AND WORKED IN NEW YORK FOR OVER FORTY YEARS.
WORK ... CURRENTLY I LIVE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE VIRGINIA AND I'M EMPLOYED AS A LEAD CARPENTER WITH THE CUSTOM HOME BUILDER , GREER & ASSOCIATES, INC. . WE BUILD DREAM HOMES AND I GET THE PLEASURE OF DOING A WIDE VARIETY OF THINGS FROM FINISH CARPENTRY, CABINETS, COUNTERTOPS, DRYWALL AND PLASTER WORK, PLUMBING & ELECTRICAL, AND MORE. ITS A REAL FIRST RATE COMPANY WITH SUPER PEOPLE.
HOME ... WHEN I'M NOT DRAWING OR PAINTING, I SPEND A LITTLE OF MY TIME AT THE SQUIDOO MALL , MY ONLINE SHOPPING MALL, OR HANGING OUT IN THE FORUMS, AND CHECKING OUT OTHER LENSES ON SQUIDOO. MAKING A SQUIDOO LENS IS EASY AND FUN. WRITE ABOUT WHATEVER YOU KNOW BEST AND LOVE TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT. WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT SQUIDOO IS YOU GET PAID FOR WHAT YOU CREATE THERE. YOU CAN KEEP THE PROCEEDS OR DONATE THEM TO CHARITY.
CLICK HERE TO JOIN SQUIDOO AND START BUILDING YOUR OWN LENS! MY INTEREST VARY FROM MUSIC, TO READING AND WRITING, AND SQUIDOO GIVES ME A WAY TO SHARE MY INTERESTS WITH EVERYONE.
