After graduating St. Thomas, I attended Power Memorial Academy and then St. Augustine. After high school, I worked for Con Edison, did a short stint in the Coast Guard, knocked around a couple of Wall Street firms, attended The New York Academy of Theatrical Arts, drove a cab, did two years as a Police Administrative Aid with NYPD, sang in a couple of rock bands and worked in a number of restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

I moved to Los Angeles in 1980 and have been working as a makeup artist in films and television shows since that time. I am presently working on an HBO series, "Deadwood", which premieres March 2004.
