Painting…skydiving... you can’t make a good argument for doing either.

Except for the pure joy! Wild, liberating joy.

I exhibited abstract paintings many times at Three Rivers Arts Festivals in Pittsburgh in the 70’s and 80’s. And once at Carnegie Mellon University in the 80’s. The 2020 lockdown prompted me to begin painting again after a 40 year layoff. Now mostly representational, and in oils.

I started skydiving in 1978. My name is on the C.G. Godfrog Award with the Heat Seekers 10 way speed star team, five skydiving World Records, and a handful of State Records.
