About Me
EGAD, WHAT HAVE
I DONE!?!?!!
Graduated from Dickinson College, Carlisle PA USA, with a BA in Philosophy. Summa cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa (junior year election).
Awarded highest honors in philosophy.
​
Spent six years working in the Middle East, four years in Western Europe.
​
I now live and work in New Haven CT USA.
​
I have had an artist's studio in New Haven since 2013.
​
In addition to my artwork, I write about various philosophical topics.
​
I am a unapologetic dilettante with many interests, including the following subjects:
​
Philosophy, art & art history, all sciences, technology & materials science, space colonization, futurology, politics, economics, finance, money & banking, mathematics, general history, religion, theology & the occult, anomalous phenomena, science fiction, horror, fantasy, general great literature (love Shakespeare, Poe & Lovecraft), semiotics, mythology, AI and cybernetics.
​
I hope one day to be an immortal cyborg. How about you?
(Oilcan, oilcan!)
...statues ensouled and conscious, filled with spirit and doing great deeds; statues that foreknow the future and predict it by lots, by prophecy, by dreams.

- § 24, Hermetic Asclepius:
Universal Oneness and
Human Dignity
As a preteen, I came up with the idea for a suspension system for road vehicles involving electromagnets. My Dad took the idea to his employer, a major automobile firm. They awarded me a certificate and a great bicycle. I got my picture in the local paper, even. Wow. They never used the idea, but hey... I got a bike.
​
I had a lab in my basement then. I built rockets and dissected frogs, etc.
I also liked to draw, paint and make things. None of those foolish things survive (or remind me of you).
Sic gloria transit mundi.
​
To keep body & soul together over the yawning decades, I have done the following jobs, in order of temporal priority, earliest to latest:
grocery stock boy, drill press operator (at 15), gardener, road sign restorer, carnie salesman, teaching assistant in philosophy, central files and micrographics supervisor in an insurance company, proofreader and copy editor, systems analyst for a defense contractor in the Middle East, paid cartoonist for a Middle Eastern military, personal assistant to a Middle Eastern prince and director of his companies, common laborer (oops!) in Europe, painter and decorator, tiler, rough carpenter, reprographics company supervisor, and research technician at a major New England medical school.
