After designing his own t-shirt company, he was discovered by Dreana Bain, head designer for George Atlan now former owner of Guess Jeans. Later becoming a contracted designer for Safety Clothing Company. 

Recently retiring from the LAFD, he returned to his passion for art. Inspired by the loss and grief of his beloved sons' passing in November 2014 gave him the desire to paint on large (36"x 48") canvas abstract pieces in an acrylic medium. These pieces are multi-layered in color theory, movement, and texture. Each piece evokes an individual's expression of sorrow, love, and hope. 

There are Five Pieces in this series dedicated to his son The "November Rain" series.
