My Professional Life
I have a full range of visual and interactive skills. With over 10 years experience as an interactive designer and developer, my skill set spans across all types of media. I specialize with design/multimedia on the Web. Lately most of my efforts have been devoted to large scale web projects. I have done work for such clients as Nintendo, Tropicana, CBS, FOX, UPN, Paramount, Nike, Reebok, and Aerosmith. I currently work with Elevate Studios, inc in Chicago as the Interactive Director.
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Graphics from Purdue University. I've gain much of my experience on the job. I'm a firm believer in learning by doing.
My Personal Life
I currently live in Villa Park, Illinois with my beautiful wife Katie and daughter Maggie, son Charlie and our two cats, Emma and Jpeg (yes, I named our cat after a file format). We met through a friend and have been close since. She currently is pursuing a career in the Chicago theater arts. She also devotes much of her time with Children's theaters in the Northern and Western suburbs and giving piano/singing lessons.
