Growing up, I was encouraged to follow my creativity and love of both drawing and music. For as long as I can remember I was designing my own superheroes, comics and cardboard box forts. As a manager of an independent bookstore for fourteen years, I found enjoyment in designing everything from our quarterly newsletter layouts to all the forms, flyers and posters used in house for promotion. In 2012 I returned to school earning my BS in Graphic Design through online study at Full Sail University. I am a proud father of four that also enjoys an occassional guitar jam, currently residing in Grand Rapids on Michigan's West Coast.
