Web & Graphic Design

Since a very early age, I've had pencils, colored pencils, pens, paper, rulers, protractors, erasers and all the usual tools an artist uses not far away.  My grandfather was a natural artist and a carpenter and those talents rubbed off on me from the time he was young.  It is because of these talents and my grandfather's strong influence, I attended school for graphic design and continues sharpening those skills today.

Photography

You can tell a great story from behind the lens of a camera.  From the time I was a young child, I had always had a camera at his disposal.  Although not a professional photographer, I do have a good eye for great photographs and when to pick up the camera and start snapping pictures.  Check out the portfolio page for some of my work.
