Nutshell: After college, I worked with photographer - Timothy Hursley. Check out his 40-year body of work when you can. I bought a used Apple clone in the mid 90's that was proudly assembled by TX prisoners. It proved to be a great starter machine for learning design. Since 1999, I've been at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and I enjoy my job. Working around young folks keeps a guy inspired. I live in Little Rock and am surrounded by beautiful women every single day (wife + two girls) - What more could I ask for?
