about me [abridged]

i've been called verbose more than a few times so i'll try to keep this relatively short.

this page is just to give you a little background of the person that designed the artwork you will hopefully be viewing.

i was born and raised in kansas city, missouri.

i moved to san francisco about two weeks after i graduated from high school. i was a waiter. not a very good one.

i moved to los angelels about a year and a half later. i attended ucla and graduated with a bfa.

i then moved to new york after being hired from a university job fair. over the next few years i had three jobs in the furniture industry as first a graphic artist then an art director then a creative director.

i also attended a program for working professionals sponsored by sva. about the same time i started a sideline business designing and creating high-end, handmade personal stationery. did that for four years. it was a lot of fun, but was way too time consuming.

i moved back to my hometown for family reasons a couple years ago.

i've been freelance in some capacity or other for over a decade with a few stints for long term agency or inhouse jobs.

family commitments being over, i decided to try a new place and decided to move to the opposite end of the state to st. louis.

now i work for the best p.r. firm on the planet as a creative director in the digital practice group.

the end.
