PROFILE
Creativity is in my life blood. Ever since my mom found me in the kitchen cabinets turning pots and pans into magical armaments and utensils into weapons of self defense against unknown assailants, I have been able to take seemingly unrelated ideas, concepts and turn them into powerful design executions.
I believe teams are the only way to develop large scale web projects. I have extensive experience in project management directing design and motivating creative teams. I am actively engaged in the design process and carry my own design projects. Keeping myself immersed in the nuts and bolts makes me a better designer.
A truly successful design must communicate the business objective, support the brand and answers the needs of the user. Winning awards with customers and engaging them with the brand is my design success criteria.
When not at work I am found hiking, skiing, bicycling or sea kayaking. I love the outdoors and had the honor of being employed as a marketing director of a ski resort. I am also an accomplished photographer and have had my pictures published.
I live in the woods with my lovely wife and our family of dogs and cats. My wife is the founder of the Whole Body Fitness Spa. I create her marketing communications and I am active in helping her grow this business.
