My days of pinstriping began in 1957 at Bernardo Auto Body in Milford, Connecticut, one of the East Coast’s premiere custom builders.  My pin striping lead me to both Autorama and the World’s Fair Auto Show, where I was the on site pinstriper. 

After my years at Bernardo, my work lead me to New York where I was the creative director for an advertising agency for 41 years.  Although pinstriping was no longer the focal point of my career, creating art has remained a constant throughout both my personal and professional lives. 

After retiring from advertising, I was prompted by other enthusiasts who were familiar with my work to pick up my brushes again.  The chance to return to my passion of pinstriping has been the opportunity of a lifetime for me.
