I caught the web design bug early, starting in Dreamweaver coding, WordPress, SquareSpace, WIX, and others. I have since joined the no-code movement and exclusively use WebFlow in all things web related.

Growing up the son of an old-school graphic designer (pre-digital age) - I was hooked at an early age. For over 20 years, I have spent nearly every waking moment creating, branding, and making. Print design, web graphics, brand design, digital, social graphics, and more.

Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, and specialize in Illustrator and Photoshop graphics and work.

Painting and pen and ink drawings: A passion outside of graphic and web design that I have let define me over the years. While I don't, and likely won't, necessarily make a living as a full-fledged artist - you're likely to find me at any moment with a brush or pen in my hand.

On the personal side of things, I'm a pretty laid back kind of guy. I secretly want to live on/be a beach bum and occasional surfer. Crazy things I've done: I completed the 100 mile challenge in 2016 by hiking 100 miles in the GSMNP - and ran a half-marathon in the Knoxville Marathon in 2019. (I don't think I had run more than a mile before at once - EVER before that.) FYI: I couldn't walk for DAYS afterwards...

One of the things dearest to my heart is volunteering for HonorAir Knoxville. HonorAir takes WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans to Washington, DC to visit the memorial built to honor their service and sacrifice - at NO COST to the veteran. I am fortunate enough to be the team videographer and graphic designer. Getting these men and women over the years has genuinely changed me to the core.
