We envision a San Diego with a sense of its own cultural identity, with collectors, curators and citizens who seek out art by San Diegan artists, and a business community that looks for ways to embrace and reflect the visual arts culture of the community that keeps it thriving.

Dan's first solid head rush was aquired while spinning in circles in the basement of his childhood home, listening to "Sugar Mountain" by Neil Young, and "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles. By the time he hit the ground for the first time he was completely sold on the concept of music. The pots and pans were raided on a regular basis, and painfully beat into submission with a wooden spoon, much to the dismay of his parental units. Dan left his home in Rhode Island and moved to Boston to read a book. It was good!
