I live in Baltimore city in Maryland. I hope that travel will inspire my work as a designer. This summer I am beginning work on a film project with an old friend. Hopefully I will be director of cinematography.

Sadly he passed away in January on the eve of my first trip to Asia. Interestingly I arrived on the first day of the Year of the Dog. Even now, I expect to see him when I come home from work.

I always grow some kind of sunflower. This year, the squirrels just cant wait...they are biting off the seed filled flower heads and running off with them.

Hanging out on the front of my Dad's little motor boat...we'd go out around the Chesapeake Bay crabbing. My job was pulling in the crabs as my father netted them.
