: About Me

My father says he had me reading and understanding the NY Times when I was 3 years old. I've been reading, writing and painting ever since then.

In the 1990's I first created a series of booklets on 'The Business of Art' and then went on to work as a technical writer. 1991 saw me xpanded to marketing and PR writing as well as web design that supported the writing for Internet marketing for a high tech company.

It would also be nice to be able to find more information on this company aside from their own website. A very secretive company, this one. When I Googled Simon Brodie, associated with Lifestyle Pets and the former owner of Allerca, there were a number of artic...
