Introduction I served as an artist for the United States Marine Corps. Creating marketing materials for national companies has been the hall mark of my career. Developing all aspects of a client’s marketing and advertising materials is both rewarding and demanding. As an advertising art director/designer, my work has been honored in six countries on four continents. Areas of concentration include digital photography, visual and conceptual design for both print and digital media, typography design, Adobe software techniques, and preparing files for printing and interactive media.
