He followed the footsteps of many other space artists of his time. His interest in astronomical and space art began at age13 when he looked at the fantastic illustrations by Chesley Bonestell and Willy Ley in a copy of "The Conquest Of Space." The illustrations encouraged him to begin drawing his own space scenes. His first medium of choice was tempera but he later changed to oils.

In 1971 he worked with a Chicago publisher, traveled through Central and North America conducting lectures and seminars, and wrote a book.
