I've been employed in commercial graphics for over 20 years with a wide spectrum of experience in graphic design, print and signage. I received my B.A. in graphics from NIU in 1993 and have continued my education professionally over the years, staying current with advancing technology. My professional experience began at Vecchio Signs as a Production Tech in 1993. I was promoted to Operations Manager in 2001. In 2004, I entered the Print Industry as a Graphic Designer at Decatur Press in Las Vegas, which provided me with a great deal of Prepress experience. I was promoted to Art Director in 2007. My wife and I returned to Rockford in 2010 to be closer to family and I accepted a position as Graphic Production Lead at Valley Expo & Displays. In July of 2013, I launched a freelance career and I am currently providing contract design and graphic services to a number of commercial accounts.
