About Me
About Me
I have always loved the process of making an idea become real. Something you can look at or touch or hear.
I worked in the Silicon Valley for some Dot.com startups, (voice over IP stuff mostly) interned for the government on the Human Genome Project, and worked through college for Chevron (mergers are crazy) and Microsoft (call centers are also crazy). I returned to my birthplace of Reno to finish my Bachelors in Business Administration and Marketing and helped plant a church called Living Stones. I worked as a creative director in Reno until moving to the Seattle area in 2015.
Once in Seattle, I took over the creative reigns for a replanting church, and have made hundreds of digital and print assets over the last ten years.
