| About Me | I am originally from New York and moved to Oregon for school. I went to the University of Oregon and got my degree in Architecture. But first I went to school in NY at University of Delhi. I graduated with a degree in engineering Tech and decided to continue in Architecture and found out that Oregon was the third in the nation. I had gotten accepted to several schools including MIT, Texas A&M, Cornell, to name a few but could not afford tuition.

I have many awards for these miniatures including Best of Show in Fantasy. I was featured in the Seattle Times and in my local paper about my work and had several showings in different galleries. In all that time I found my wife Patricia, and ten years later we married, bought a home, and had my daughter, DeLenn, who is now thirteen years old. I am also a sculptor and painter. As a family we enjoy going camping, fishing, and hiking when we can. And just take mostly weekend vacations more than trying to plan two weeks some where, since we always feel rushed and exhausted after our vacation.
