About

"Classic Homes - - Modern Living"
I have a passion for "Classic Homes" and finding ways to fit them into "Modern Life".
I grew up in a 1917 built Cottage English Tudor Revival surrounded by Victorian homes in the nostalgic National Register Historic District of Wyoming, Ohio. Wyoming is a wonderful community known for its school district, miles of sidewalks, beautiful trees, bustling business district, and diversity - including amazing architecture from the 1800's to 1960's, plus even the occasional new build. And the "historic" aspect often involves "restoration/renovation" and an expertise in how an older home fits your needs of today.


Ask me about: Renovating Classic Homes, Art Deco to Mid-Century Modern design, vintage automobiles, and pets.
You may see me touring Greater Cincinnati in a 1936 Auburn automobile – The Auburn Automobile Co. of Auburn, Indiana were makers of Auburn, Cord Duesenberg's. You may also see me at Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance events (fka Ault Park Concours d'Elegance). I am a Founding Member of the Board of Directors of the Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance Foundation (involved since 1981 - I was in High School).
Did you know the Concours is the second oldest of its type in the United States, while benefiting Juvenile Arthritis needs in Southern Ohio ?
Or, you may see me around town training an "English" Airedale Terrier (or the Airedale Terrier is training me - the jury is still out on that one). They are called "King of the Terrier Breeds" and we are exploring the countless miles of Greater Cincinnati neighborhoods and sidewalks. And yes, the best dog walking shoes are Chuck Taylor All-Stars!
