I've always been active in graphic arts, photography, and songwriting. Prior to my move to Tennessee in 1987, I was an Art Director for General Dynamics in Troy, MI. With 10 years of service under my belt, my own department, and the promise of a second department to manage, I gave four weeks notice and took the first steps leading to my spiritual destination.

The move to Tennessee felt like "coming home". Within two months, my song "Lady Liberty" climbed to #88, with a bullet, on the national charts. My interest and talent in graphics, photography, and painting have expanded into music videos and graphic novels.

In 2004, I was blessed to join hearts with Jane (Ellis Conrad) Fileccia (also on Artful Vision), and moved her from Lake Orion MI to Tennessee to begin our journey of a lifetime. We combined our talents to produce more art and music. Through our One Light One Love Music Ministry, we have performed at nursing homes, senior centers, spiritual events, for Hospice patients, in parking lots, or anywhere someone is in need of a smile, a tune, a hug, or just some loving words to show them we care.
