Location: Toledo, oHIo
Age: 34
Occupation: Creative Director

Born and raised in Northwest Ohio.18 years of my life has been spent pushing wood all over Ohio and has been one the most important influences in my career.

My first real impression of art and design was back in 1988 after picking-up my first issue of Transworld Skate Magazine. Back then David Carson was the Art Director. I remember thinking to myself how cool it would be to draw pictures and skate for the rest of my life. At BGSU I immersed myself in everything. Drawing, painting, photography, glass and sculpture; but one stuck out. Design quickly became my new passion. I was working on projects just like those in the piles of skate magazines in the bathroom. Doing made-up ad campaigns for Workshop and ID systems for Scooters. As technology progressed and the web came along my focus moved in that direction and eventually would take me into the digital media field.

I just marked-up my 9th year in the Toledo creative / advertising scene, doing mostly design and web development. Now I am focusing on combining my digital and traditional art skills into non-commercial art pieces. I run a blog about my current projects and also have a site dedicated to my artwork.
