In His Own Words:
My mother was an artist and I was inspired by her miraculous ability to take a blank canvas and create a beautiful work of art. My father, a house builder, had the remarkable ability to sketch buildings and house plans and take those ideas and build thousands of homes and buildings across NJ.

I used to doodle on anything that I could find, from a piece of paper to a concrete sidewalk. I tried numerous times enrolling into art classes and each time I either failed or dropped out. One day, I realized these classes were trying to teach me techniques that I was not comfortable with. Instead, I started drawing what came natural to me. When I view a building, I see them as others do, but from my eyes to my hands, I interpret these structures differently on paper, as you will notice in my work.

Over the years, my family and friends would tell me that these drawings were really good and that I continue to draw more. And so I did.
