I was born in Pittsburgh. My father worked in the steel industry. His father an architect. I’m proud to be a by-product of the booming American Steel Industry - and the resulting rust belt. Evolution and change are woven into my make-up.

I've studied advertising, computer graphic design, and marketing. Dabbled in anthropology, cultural affairs, event planning, community building and vintage motorcycles. I've proven myself a conceptual thinker, a talented designer, an inspired creative, and technologically adept magic maker. When I’m not working, or sitting in front of the computer, I’m re-learning everything I thought I knew through the eyes of my kids. I also volunteer a lot of time toward special art events and creating opportunities for artists and creative self-expression. I believe we need less TV, and much more art.
