Welcome to my small corner of the web. This is my personal site that I do in my spare time to keep my skills current. I update this site regularly with stuff I find interesting or what's going on in my life.

I live down south in the growing mecca of Charlotte, North Carolina. The queen city is only two hours from the mountains and three to the beach. I work for Osprey, an e-commerce company, where I am the webmaster.

For the previous six years I was Senior Graphic Designer at UMI Publications and worked with two other designers. I primarily handled redesigns and quality control. I also managed and was webmaster of the annual ACC Basketball Handbook. We designed The Official NASCAR Preview and Press Guide, NASCAR Winston Cup Yearbook and additional motorsports publications.

Complementing my work, I've designed numerous printed pieces for nonprofit groups like the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Carolinas Caring Connection and Saint Gabriel Catholic Church. I've designed websites for such diverse clients as the Media Company, Marston Communications and Dr. Branner.

I received a BFA in Graphic Design with a concentration in design and illustration from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. I grew up sixty miles south of Buffalo in the small town of Allegany, New York (population 1,980-yah hoo!) and graduated from Allegany Central High School in 1988. With a graduating class of 110, it was so small that ACS eventually merged with another school after my departure.

Allegany is the world headquarters for T-shirt gurus Studio4East, where I spent a summer cleaning screens and getting hazed. It's also the home of Saint Bonaventure University, where I majored in pickup basketball during high school. It's in the middle of nowhere, but a great place to grow up.

And I'm a HUGE Bills fan.

Hope you enjoy my site and make sure to visit my links page. I've got some zingers!
