My goal is to create some of the world's finest artworks dedicated to helping save our magnificent tigers, a special heritage we have received via millions of years of our planet Earth's development, and now our obligation to assure this gift lives on!

Some info about my talents for this important sculptural art:

I am now 67 years of age, committed to contributing to our world some goodness within my special abilities. My original career was as a scientist and businessman, oriented primarily to solving medical and industrial water related problems worldwide, especially of biological and chemical aspects. I was given the gift of exceptional art talent, derived from my parents and ancestors. About twenty-five years ago I became a full-time professional sculptor, creating primarily realistic artworks with authenticity built upon my prior base of technical expertise.

A life-size bronze horse, "Aristides -- Winner First Kentucky Derby, 1875" installed in historic Churchill Downs, Louisville KY (the only life-size thoroughbred statue there and a major showpiece for the race track and museum) is one of my famous artworks. A life-size scene of river otters chasing a brook trout in the North Carolina Zoological Park is another example of my public animal sculptural art in classic bronze. I also am skilled with human portraiture, such as my life-size bronze of a famous railroad man at an Amtrak Station, and my portrait sculpture of Walter Hines Page, America's renowned World War I Ambassador to Great Britain.

Currently I am creating the prestigious North Carolina Fallen Firefighters Memorial, a unique life size bronze action scene of four firefighters in a fatal collapsed building fire, to soon be installed in the State Capitol. It is titled "Heroism & Sacrifice", and I have sculpted the intensity of this concept in the faces, body postures, and building debris in authentic dramatic realism. I created the master model for this monument one year prior to the 9/11 NYC World Trade Towers terrorist attack. Replicas will be provided for NYC "ground zero" site, the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Maryland, and also for President Bush. A special bas-relief version of "Heroism & Sacrifice" (somewhat similar to our tiger bas-relief "Survival At Risk") was created, and 343 of these, about $50,000 in value, were donated to the families of each of the 9/11 NYC/WTC fallen firefighters as honorary memorials.

I truly hope my work can help save the tiger before it's too late!
