born in fresno, ca. in 1957. graduated huntington beach, ca. in 1975, moved back to fresno in same year, started cruisin' the main drag and checkin' out all of the paint jobs. it was all of the artwork that really caught my eye and i knew then that stripin' was in my blood. i've gone on to work for budwiser and have been in easyrider mag. with a personal write-up from david mann himself. not tootin' my horn just always amazed at where stripin' has taken me and they even pay me for havin' fun. presently i'm involved in old wooden boat restorations and vintage bikes. i love makin' people smile! g.gillette
