"I was brought up on the west shores of Lake Erie in a small town called (Point Place) Toledo, Ohio. I studied art for 3 years under Lamaxie Glover (noted for his sculpture works). While serving in the U.S. Army I painted and did murals for Sam. After the Army, I married and had 3 beautiful daughters. During that time I worked as a conductor on the railroad for 30 years until an injury forced me to retire. I also kept up my art works doing paintings, murals and lettering for a local yacht club (RVYC). In 2002 my new wife and I moved to Cape Coral, where I studied art under Denise Spates. I hope you enjoy my acrylic paintings as much as I enjoyed painting them. You can contact me at
