Welcome to my fragmented world!  Those who have experienced my artistic highs understand why I devote so much time to observing, creating and experimenting. When I first thought of Fragmentation, I had in mind techno-realistic sets of patterns.  But as the concept evolved, I realized I could convey a stronger message by mixing techno-realism with free hand expressionism.

Early Years: I was born in Cameroon where my Mom and Dad still reside.  My mother is from the beautiful coastal region while my father is from the lush rainforest of eastern Cameroon.  I arrived in the USA as an exchange student from "Institut des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises de Paris" (Small Business Institute of Paris) in 1985.  Our program took place in San Rafael, CA and lasted approximately 3 months.  Thereafter, I moved to San Francisco, CA where I had contracted an internship with Bechtel Power Corporation.  During that period, painting had vanished from my life.  I was more pre-occupied with my school work.  My immediate concerns dealt with the "Where" and "How" of life.  In the end, I would earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.  Needless to say, this is where I also met my wife Sheila and my best friend Aziz.
