What's this? You want to know more
about me? Well alright, then! Here we go! Most people identify me by
the black baseball cap always covering my
balding head, and my attempt at what I try
to pass off as a beard. Design is my life.
If I'm not designing, you'll most likely find
me mulling through design websites, books, or
magazines. That or you may find one of my friends
staring blankly at me as I try to explain to them
how type is one of the most amazing inventions
in history. If you're a fellow designer, you
understand.
Thankfully my diverse design background allows
me to design in all sorts of styles and mediums.
Over the span of the last six years or so I've been
fortunate enough to have worked with and been
mentored by some really outstanding people.
Bill and Connie Nieman,
Michael Freiman,
Kathleen Mitchell,
Paul Johann, and
Sandy Rodgers
have been the driving
forces in my design career, always pushing me to
push myself.
I'm also fortunate to be friends with several award
winning artists who provide me with some much needed
healthy competition. Those crazy cats would be
Mike Beall,
Ted Lauterbach,
Sieng Lee,
Hannah Robus,
Dave Armstrong,
Pete Beckett
my girlfriend Nicki, my awesome
parents, and my cat Gwen.
