How and when did you get your start in the art business? What is your position today? Can you give us a brief overview of how you got there?

I’ve been an event producer since the age of 19 (let’s just say that was quite a while ago). I created events mainly for corporate clients, transforming hotel ballrooms into elaborate environments and producing food and beverage, entertainment/lighting and effects to deliver a theatrical production to the audience. Having always been an artist at heart, this work provided a tremendously creative outlet. I sold my interests in the event planning firm to my partners in the late 90s.
