My other interests include Art, Music, and Travel / Recreation. I’ve had the great fortune to have been able to play music with some very talented musicians and have had the opportunity to play at some very cool venues including: the Roxy / Upstairs, House of Blues Voodoo Room, Molly Malone’s, Genghis Cohen’s, Cal State Northridge, as well as a few bars in the San Francisco area. Prior to my 30-years as a designer I was employed as a paste-up / graphic artist for a small printing operation in San Fernando, where I produced Logos and letter head, and I the early 80’s I designed cable systems and managed a design and drafting department for a Communicom Cable Co., in Culver City
