I love building things that matter! it's like falling in love to bring something into this world and watch it flourish, above all else designing and developing products is my passion..

I am currently a Visual Designer and Co-Founder of a company called DropTrip. DropTrip has allowed me to fully realize my abilities as a designer. I've been a key component of helping them build their brand and marketing message as well as being a key influence on their web/app product. In a little under a year we have built a nice sizable user base and even won a Business Excellence Award for "Innovators Of The Year". I'm currently in the process of expanding my skill-set by adding Web Developer to the list, Im attending a 12 week code bootcamp with Montana Code School.

I am a native Montanan, I attended the Art Institute in Seattle in the Late 90's where I learned the basics of design and early web development. I've done various things in my professional life, radio DJ, tech support, and co founded a small design company which I left in mid 2015 to pursue my passions in the startup world by helping co-found DropTrip

In October of 2013 I attended a Startup Weekend in Bozeman, MT where I met my co-founders in DropTrip, out of a group of 22 teams DropTrip was the judges choice for 1st place in the competition. I noticed right away that this team took the vision seriously, of all of the initial pitches we are the only company still at it.

I'm also raising my 2 very spirited children which is a full time endeavor of it's own. When i'm not designing and being daddy you can either find me gaming or listening to startup podcasts.
