I've been immersed in this city's history and cultures since 1997 and have been doing what I can to help Waterbury achieve its potential and to encourage others to see the greatness that already exists.

I am also an artist, working primarily with oil paints to capture scenes of city life. Many of my original paintings are for sale. You can also visit my online store at CafePress.com for prints and postcards of my Waterbury paintings.
