I have an AA and Professional degrees from Spokane Falls Community College — a program similar to the one at CCSF. Graduated in 1974.

My first job was with a combination graphic design and advertising firm just outside New York (in New Jersey) doing pharmaceutical packaging and advertising design and production for two years.

I moved to San Francisco in 1997 and after freelancing for several months went to work for Landor Associates producing pharmaceutical packaging design. I left for a year to work on multi-media projects — 50 projector entertainment shows like "The Christmas Experience."

I returned to Landor Associates Corporate Identity department where I was a "Strategic Analyst for Corporate Identity" on projects like Pacific Telesis, Jardine Mateheson and Saturn.

I introduced the concept of computer graphics at Landor Associates in the early 1980's and ran a profit center providing computer training, graphic design and production with $125,000 workstations before transitioning the company to Macintoshes several years later.

I've been an independent illustrator and designer since 1977 for my company Illusion Industries. For the last four years I have been developing iNeTours.com — a successful travel oriented virtual tour on the internet which currently includes San Francisco, New Orleans, New York, The Northern California Wine Country and Yosemite National Park. I produce all the photography, web site design and production of most of the writing
