| Introduction | I wear two hats: Artist, and I manage the blogging team at Wells Fargo. Art is my third career. I’ve actually had many types of jobs in life, which was perhaps an early indication of someone that should be an artist ;-) Art is a profession (at least for me) with no end in learning and growth, which is why I started this blog. Artists–unlike any other profession I’ve ever worked in–share insights and teach eachother all the time. I hope this blog helps start conversations that result in artistic growth for them, as well as collectors of my work. I’m also quite busy, so my own family (distributed across the country) keeps up with what I doing via my blog. Sad, but true. I’ve worked as a musician, teacher, software engineer, high-tech manager, and Internet media executive. Today, I focus on Art and application of “Web 2.0″ technologies for FORTUNE 500 corporations. I’ve worked with clients such as Apple Computer, Cisco Systems, CNET Networks, and Wells Fargo. I currently manage the blogging team at Wells Fargo: http://blog.wellsfargo.com. |

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?
I'd never sleep if it were a reasonable option.
