Born in Ensenada, raised an educated in Mexicali, Tijuana Baja California, México and San Diego, California.
Associated of Arts Degree commercial art. Worked in advertising as art director and graphic designer. Learned printmaking at San Diego State University. Intaglio with Paul Lingren and Robeert Berg and stone lithography with Kayne Kimball, (formerly a master printmaker at Tamarind.)

Always believing that under a good representational painting is a good drawing, turned creative efforts to drawings with the intentions of taking a drawing beyond what would normally be preliminary sketch for a painting and turning into a finished piece of art, which alowed him to develop his own style this way.

Statement:
I draw motivation or inspiration to produce art from many sources. They can be personal, political or religious.
Much of the work I have produced consists mostly of simple drawings of simple subjects, executed with simple tools, pencil and paper in most cases.

My intention, like mmost if not all other artists, is to communicate a thought or concept and hope the observer can see a beyond the medium and be delighted or disgusted by its content.

"Of all my demons, indifference is the one that scares me."
