( About me )
I am a partner, a father, an adventurer, a corporate professional, a mentor, a student, an artist, and a bunch of other things I didn’t know I’d be so lucky to be. Originally from Baltimore, with decades in Atlanta, I now live in Kalamazoo, MI with my wife, 2 daughters, and 2 super needy french bulldogs. The Arts have always been part of my life, with skateboarding and graffiti-writing at an early age introducing me to graphics and graphic design, though it wasn’t until pursuing a degree in Drawing that I realized I wanted to make a career out of it. I landed a full time job as a staff designer a couple of months after switching to design school, and since then I have worked my way from “scrappy, outspoken graphic artist” to “scrappy, outspoken creative director and design leader”.
I look forward to connecting, and discussing how my unique set of skills & experience could benefit your business and culture.
