Born in a small town in Illinois in the 50's. Inspired by the Indians and Harleys and Hot Rods that cruised the streets on Saturday nights. Learned oil painting from my Father. Currently learning how to pinstripe on my own with inspiration from Von Dutch style artist Lyle Fisk whom I met in Jacksonville last year. I lived in SO CAL while I was in the Navy there and built a hot 70 Mustang fastback. I'm currently building custom old school style bikes in my garage. I've built two to date but haven't sold them yet. I ride Harleys, am married with two kids and currently make our home in SOTX.
