About Me
For more than a two decades, I've been in the design business. A Design graduate of UCLA’s School of the Arts, I was fortunate to study under noted designers Don Chadwick, John Neuhart, and Ron Rezek. I went on to serve four years as a Coast Guard Public Affairs Officer, then became one of the first employees for Joe Boxer in San Francisco, the novelty boxer short company.
I'm gay, and "came of age" in the late 1980s in San Francisco and the Bay Area. I lost many close friends to AIDS then – it changed my life forever. I am the man I am, for these experiences. I woke up and I carry on.
I worked several years in art departments in the motion picture industry in the 1990s. It is not as glamorous as one might think, so I moved on. Along with my sister, Sandy, I created designs for greeting cards and wall décor, primarily for Papyrus, Pier 1, Smith & Hawken, and Target and ran Cappelletti Studio for 10 years.
I spent several years as a trainer for Apple in New York, teaching software classes and seminars to employees and the public around the country. I created several Apple courses for consumer-level software applications.
I'm a full time professor at Sacramento City College, teaching in the Graphic Communication Department. I'm currently pursuing a Masters degree in Educational Technology at Sacramento State.
In 1991, I spent a year designing and constructing a house in the Sierra foothills, between Rescue and Lotus, in El Dorado County. It turned out great, I'm very proud of it. I love to build things, go backpacking, sail, kayak, and swim. I also love to travel, and have visited 44 states and about 35 countries, so far.
In addition to my sister Sandy, I have a twin sister, Nancy, and an older brother, Don. My parents, Don and Helen, met in the 10th grade, were high school sweethearts, and have been married for almost 60 years now.
A native Northern Californian, I grew up primarily in the Napa Valley.
