A Little History
Self-promotion piece from 1982.

I was born in 1952 in Newark, New Jersey, the state that gets no respect. At 15, I overcame this obstacle when my family moved to Florida. Things were a lot better in the Sunshine State. After finishing high school, I entered the University of Florida and graduated with a Bachelor of Design. A couple of years in Altanta and a couple of kids later, we ended up in the Tampa Bay area. In 30 years working in the field of advertising, I’ve been fortunate enough to collect well over a hundred awards for my work. Honors include awards from the Advertising Club of New York, the New York Art Directors Club, National Addys and Print Magazine. I am a current member of the AIGA, American Institute of Graphic Artists. In addition to operating my design studio, I am also an adjunct professor of design at the Art Institute, Tampa.
