I make my living teaching people about color management. I use a variety of tools including spectrophotometers, colorimeters, inkjet printers, and various computer programs to build color profiles.

In 2004, the board of the San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum embarked on a mission to construct a new building. The grand opening last month delighted the town's children.

In the process of building the interior spaces, I got involved as a photo-muralist.
