I am and have been many things, mechanical engineer, computer expert, high-level manager; and lately more of what I was born to do: a builder of people environments. I build structures meant to bring beauty and quality into people’s lives. I build houses and parts of houses, enhance indoor and outdoor environments and place a high value on my integrity and the trust people place in me.

My fountains are quite a surprise to me since I never thought of myself as an artist. But I also never saw the work of Isamu Naguchi or Jesus Morales until recently either. I'm creating fountains which are visually calm and elegant while incorporating the principles of physics.

Now I am working toward integrating artistic elements into areas of architecture more often overlooked than enhanced: roofs and railings. I am also collaborating with my wife on adding a whimsical element to these wherever appropriate.
