I started drawing cartoons as a graphic artist for KPMG Peat Marwick in New York City in 1983. The partners and executives wanted to liven up their newsletters and magazines. Since then, I have had my cartoons and humorous illustrations published by many publishing companies, financial institutions and corporations, including:
     
National Geographic World Magazine
Penguin Putnam  ·  Silver Burdett & Ginn
Gallaudet College  ·  Rutgers University
  · CitiBank
Berlitz International  · The Environmental Protection Agency
Wall Street Journal Employment Weekly  ·  Project Life, Inc.

 
   
       Currently, I am teaching art and cartooning at various schools in the
       Reston, Virginia region. E-mail me or call me, if you want to learn
       how to draw cartoons. I can give you private lessons in your home.
       Just call me.
