Education
Denbigh High School Graduate… Sure, I graduated from high school but that’s not where I got an education. No, that was through careful consideration, Trial & Error, and the occasional thumping upside the head. Good sense doesn’t come as easily as making mistakes and learning from them.
Longwood College (Visual Arts Studies) This was a brief learning experience. I was more interested in getting out in the world and earning a living.

This won’t make for good reading but, I get a lot of Questions from folks in out-lying areas.
Therefore, in the interest of information;
I live in Hopewell, Virginia, near the North edge of Prince George County. This makes it easy for me to travel South. Places like Carson, Fort Lee, Petersburg, and Stoney Creek are a fairly short drive. Even for a wallpaper project in Emporia, give me a call.
Traveling to the East, I cover Disputanta, Waverly , Wakefield , Claremont , Sussex County. Again, I’ll take on a wallpaper project all the way to Smithfield and Williamsburg, if needed.
Across the James River from my home lies Charles City County, Varina , and Sandston.
Happy to strip and hang wallpaper there, as well.
Covering the area southwest of me includes Petersburg, Stoney Creek, Carson, DeWitt, McKenney, Rawlings, Sutherland, and the rest of Dinwiddie County.
A short drive from my home and again, no problem.
From northeastern Petersburg through Matoaca and western Chesterfield all the way to Brandermill, Woodlake is included but I have to draw the line at the village of Midlothian & Salisbury.
Wrapping back around includes the south side of Rickmond, from Meadowdale to Falling Creek. Chester, Walthall, Enon, and Hopewell are, of course, included. Woodland Pond and the Highlands area, south to Ettrick and Colonial Heights.
