About
As a kid, I very much wanted to be an artist. To be like one of the many oil painting artist I admired was my original career goal. Better still, was to be one of the working portrait artists I admired! Ah..., the dreams of youth.
Unfortunately, a funny thing happened on the way to a career in art--I got side-tracked by a 35 year career as a history teacher and wrestling coach (I'm very proud of the fact that I started Dalton's wrestling program) in the Dalton Local School District. But, as they say--better late than never! From roughly 1990 until my retirement in 2014 I was simply too busy coaching, teaching, and being a father to do much (more like any) painting. Retirement has renewed my interest in art and granted me the luxury of time to paint.
