Born:
December 15, 1957
Manhattan, New York

Both my parents were involved in the arts. My mother a fashion model and my father an art director/graphic designer/painter/photographer.

Growing up out here during the 60's this area was still pretty much farming land surrounded by ocean. Us Cato kids grew up around the arts. Our parents provided a wonderful garden. We kids worked as child models for the twin Abbey sisters (Franny & Fuffy) and Francesco Scavullo.

Since my father also worked for CBS records, music played a big part of our lives. Jazz and early rock'n'roll were loved. In my early years I worked as a roadie for "The Paul Winter Concert" & "The Band".

My own interests are art/writing/filmmaking. I've been working continuously in the art/film industry for 35 years.
