Biography

I'm an interactive art director with a decade of experience. Beginning in '97, my start was with a linux/unix (Jobsoft) based company who developed custom software and web applications. I learned how to design and code sites, run my own linux webserver out of my house (yep in '98) and had the only duoboot Mac/Linux machine I knew of before Mac OSX.

Through the skills that I had acquired at that company, I moved to New York City to work at one of the world's top privately held agencies - Pittard Sullivan. It was my first experience with a top tier company in the world. Clients were beyond reason - ABC, CBS, NBC...even the country of Switzerland!

The economy tanked and so did Pittard. I found myself seeking any work I could find and eventually ended up working privately for freelance for many years. At this time period, I was one of the core glory days members of Ultra 16. Due to the declining economy, the company was a who-who of top interactive design and allowed my personal standard for interactive to achieve heights I could have never imagined. I was one of their budding designers and not on the level with everyone else, but it was formative as to developing my idea of what truly was possible with the web.

The company itself was finally hit by the declining economy and had to close it's doors for a few years. We all were forced to move on. I finished out their contract with one of their clients and continued to do work for them for the next 5 years.

The client, Plus One, is one of the largest private fitness/spa companies in the world. Their focus was only on Fortune 500 clients which allowed me to work inside of their companies with clients ranging from Merrill Lynch to the Waldorf=Astoria.

This allowed me to pursue a variety of sideline interests such as focusing on my art (painting) and playing many national tours in a rock band. This allowed me to see 47 of the lower 48 states. After years of being on the road, I had to focus on my career again, so I moved on to an agency where my friend had recommended me for a position. I am currently the interactive art director at C2 Creative.
