Four decades at the intersection of art, technology, and entrepreneurship
I have worked at the intersection of art, technology, and entrepreneurship for more than four decades. My career began as one of the early pioneers of personal computing — first working with hardware such as Richard Hamilton's Diab DS-101 system, and later helping to port BSD Unix to Hamilton's Infowell computer. This blend of creativity, engineering, and problem-solving has shaped everything I have done since.
Today, I design and build modern, Apple-native software for the art world. My focus is on replacing traditional, server-dependent, and expensive systems with secure, device-centric applications that artists, galleries, and collectors can use directly on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
I am the creator behind Art Pro, Artist Pro, and Heritage Vault — tools designed to make collection management, provenance, gallery workflows, and archive preservation intuitive, private, and always available. My approach is simple: powerful software, beautifully designed, and entirely in your control.
Alongside my technology work, I have founded and led several successful companies, combining entrepreneurial insight with a deep understanding of how the art world operates at every level — from artists' studios to major galleries and private collections.
My mission is to bring clarity, structure, and long-term value to the art and heritage sector through innovative, Apple-native software that respects privacy, supports mobility, and eliminates unnecessary complexity.
