I have the unique privilege of having always known what I am. I was coding and programming by 8. I was designing and producing art for various organizations by 12. I had written my first novel by 13. I was providing graphics for the local newspaper by 15. And by 17, I was a soldier in the US Army and was commissioned to create art and platoon logos for every military unit I’ve been in. In short, I’ve been a Creative my whole life. For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived with the desire to put something in the world that was there yesterday. Fast forward through the General Motors positions, the startups and corporations I've created, the TV shows and films I’ve shot, directed, and produced, and the myriad companies I’ve helped brand, market, advertise, and create web and social presences for. I am currently the Creative Director of Parliament Studios and the four-time Emmy nominated PBS TV show "START UP." I give talks on brand identity and social media for businesses. I brand corporations, craft engaging marketing campaigns, design product launches and nationwide tours, create award winning web sites, intranet sites, internet marketing, and TV and web video advertising. And I've recently begun non-violent game development and nonprofit publishing projects.Specialties: creative direction, marketing, branding & identity, web design & development, graphic design, illustration, 3D creation & animation, video production, and motion graphics.
