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.
