Great design is born of two things:
simplicity and clarity.

My work in advertising and design spans over two decades. Developing a clear voice and a definitive point of view along the way. It’s a voice that informs and unifies everything else – from brand strategy, naming, logo/identity, visual brand development, print/advertising design, website design, packaging design, digital design, event branding, and social media.
I have partnered with individual clients, advertising, design and marketing firms on a local, national and global level (past and present). I believe in delivering great work regardless of size or budget.

I grew up on a 72 acre farm with a 15 acre pond in Harpersfield, Ohio. I bailed hay, fed cows, chickens, pigs and rode dirt bikes, joined the Army National Guard, and somehow ended up in the advertising and design industry.

I enjoy hanging out with my best friend – my wife, Heidi, our two daughters and their families, vacationing anywhere adventurous, life in the country, hiking, running, working out, kayaking, gardening and riding my fully restored 1969 Honda CA Dream motorcycle.
