I work full time as a Creative Director, leading an amazing group of talented young designers, photographers and film makers.

My background is rooted in the fine arts with a bachelors degree in studio art and an MFA in Photography with a fine art emphasis.

My dream is to have my own photography and design studio someday and to create hand-made, fine art photography books. I also fancy the idea of teaching at a college or university in my later years.

I love photography, design, typography, calligraphy, architecture, painting, theatre, dance, New York City, Chicago, Jazz, Rock and Roll, and Blue Grass music; Starbucks coffee; Jeep Wranglers; blue jeans; campfires; a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey from time to time and motorcycles.

I also love hiking in the Appalachian mountains, the Monterey Bay and Redwood forests of California as well as the white, sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast. I dream of traveling to Europe someday to visit my ancestral lands of Scotland, Ireland and England.

I'm a husband to a beautiful wife who is also my best friend and lover, a father of five, a grandfather of three, and hope to live long enough to become a great grandfather.
