Cartooning

I always liked drawing as far as I can remember.  I took up doodling while earning my engineering degree in college.  After graduation,  I started my career at Ford Motor Co. but I never gave up my interest in cartooning.  I found a syndicated cartoonist ,Ken Muse who was teaching at a Macomb Community College in Warren Michigan.  I studied with him for many years and started getting published in magazines and local commercial ads.  I was featured in his book, “ The Total Cartoonist” as one of 16 professional cartoonist.  I published my own book , “ Secular Humorism” in 1987. 
I have always found ways to include cartoons in my work and presentations.  I look forward in sharing what I learned from the old masters to new students.
