| Introduction | For twenty-five years, I've authored and illustrated multiple children's books. Ultimately it led to books on firefighting, hurricane hunters and the USCG. In 2004 I became an official artist with the Coast Guard. In May 2006 I was sent to the Persian Gulf to live aboard patrol boats and now nine pieces of art from that experience are in their permanent collection |
