ABOUT ME
I’ve been in advertising, graphic design
and web design for over 15 years. I have
agency experience working with clients
from virtually every industry. I believe good
communication solves problems, working
hard will pay off, and attention to detail is
key. I am easy to work with. For evidence
of this, please see my “THATA BOYS” page
on my website. I am happy to travel, work
remote or come in as needed. In my spare
time, I enjoy being with family and friends,
hiking, kayaking, painting, traveling,
volunteering, exercising, and live music.
