In Depth

I was born into a military family, but at a young age, I decided that wasn't the life for me. Breaking with tradition, I decided to forge my own creative path. I became interested in design by the layout and photography in album sleeves and CD cases, the glossy ads in magazines, and the character designs of video games. I attended Appalachian State University and earned my BFA and graphic design, and have since had the good fortune to be involved in many different aspects of the industry. I'm married to a wonderful woman named Krista who, as fate would have it, is also a graphic designer. She's always encouraging me to take my work to the next level. To this day, I've always challenged myself to create wonderful things, no matter what the project.

Fave Food

I'm a lover of food, but my favorite food of all are pancakes topped with strawberries and lots of whipped cream.

Hobby

When the sun goes down, I'm usually playing a show with my band, Biggy Stardust and His Wretched Hive.

Fitness

I'm a high energy guy, so running helps keep me grounded. So far, my longest run was 20 miles, but I'm always trying to improve.
