I was born in Florida longer ago than I care to admit. My father’s career took us to several destinations before settling into Leadville, Colorado for several years as a kid. It was here that my love for the mountains and all things Colorado began. After a change in the family dynamic, I moved with my mother and siblings to lush and beautiful Western Nebraska (yes… that is sarcasm). After earning my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fine Art from Chadron State College, I soon returned to Colorado. I have had a lengthy career as a graphic designer and illustrator spanning nearly 37 years. My creative journey has been marked by a blend of technical skill and artistic passion, which is reflected in every project I take on.

As a long-time resident of Fort Collins, I truly embrace all the city has to offer—from its vibrant food scene and lively music culture to the close-knit community of friends I have cultivated over the years. I share my life with my wife, Shelly, with whom he will celebrate 25 years of marriage this November. The household is however run by our two dogs, Penny and Sherman. When I am away from work, I am a serial hobbyist, enjoy cooking, music & vinyl records, camping, and spending quality time with friends, whether it’s over board games or engaging in spirited trivia nights. If you need a player, I crush categories of Pop Culture, Classic Rock and sometimes surprise myself with getting a few History questions correct.

In summary… I am one lucky guy.
