I was born and raised in snowy & dismal, upstate New York. I graduated with a bachelor degree in graphic design from Rochester Institute of Technology and moved to north Texas in 2003. I spent years working for various agencies, worked as a production manager and then to a sign company where I learned the craft of sign design. I am a multiple award winner for brochure/logo designs as well as signage. In 2003 I was commended from the Commonwealth of Virginia (see House Joint Resolution No. 914) for assistance and support for fundraising efforts assocated with my 9/11 logo design. I left to work on my own before the economy soured and then transitioned to work as a full time firefighter/paramedic for a few years before I left to spend more time with my family. I currently work on commission designs, illustrations, woodcrafts and sign designs. I live in Star, Idaho with my wife, Janet and son Cole. I am a member of
