About me

I'm a Southern California native, now living and loving life in the Midwest. I graduated from Art Center College of Design and started my career as an art director at Colby & Partners. I've been working at Cramer-Krasselt for the past decade, most recently becoming a creative director. I'm also a husband and father of 5, and yes it is crazy, very crazy.

Throughout my career I've been fortunate enough to gain the attention of Communication Arts (Advertising, Illustration and Typography Annuals), Graphis, Lürzer's Archive and the One Show. And most recently judged the Communication Arts Illustration Annual. For the past six years, I have been the art director of the award-winning Penfield Poster Project, a poster auction held in conjunction with the Croquet Ball fundraiser benefiting Penfield Children's Center.
