Here's part of my story...

I graduated from Hendrix College, in Conway, Arkansas USA with a degree in Art. Since then, my experience has covered all aspects of commercial graphic design including print production, advertising layout, identity development, branding, video production, radio and television spots, media event promotion, marketing and web design.

My first company, Vulcan Creative Labs, started as a freelance business and ran for seven years. I then got the opportunity to act as Creative Director for the City of Eureka Springs Advertising and Promotions Commission.

I've had work published in the now defunct Mac Design magazine and received awards for best ad layout and best web design in the 2005 Outlet Awards in NW Arkansas.

From 2005-2007, I was the President of the Northwest Arkansas Art Directors Club which inspired area creative professionals and students.

I was, previously, President of the Board of the New Design School in Fayetteville, AR where I also still teach part-time to the beginning students helping them on a path of self-creative discovery, creativity, spirit and design skills.

In the Spring of 2005, after I closed down Vulcan, I took a position at Tyson Foods, Inc. in Springdale, AR as Art Director of Digital Media in the Corporate Communications Department.

Voted by the NW Arkansas Business Journal as a "40 Under 40" mover and shaker in 2005, I also have been a part of the Fayetteville Film Festival for 3 years, the Eureka Springs Digital Film Festival for 2 years, co-founder of DeadFred.com, an award-winning world-reknown genealogy photo archive. I sold my part of the business back in 2007.

Today, I am co-owner and Chief Creative Officer for Blue Zoo Creative, an Online Presence Management Company whose vision is to be the first choice for online presence management and to build a global team of innovative professionals. We build "Websites that Inspire Action™"
