Born

Raised

    S. California, HB

If your reading this by now, you've gotten to know me alittle. I was born and raised in California during the wave/mullet,flourescent bracelet,M.J. glove, wearing high-top addidas era. Somewhere during all that, I ended up being the quarterback & captain of my high school football team, taking art classes and surfing every chance I could. Not knowing from there, one day I would pursue a career in advertising design focusing on making peoples lives a little simpler and a little better. Whether we have social, digital, tv, guerrilla, or print, it all matters. Because there are stories to be told and people to be touched. Let me know how I can help by using the email button on the previous page. Look forward to hearing from you.
