About
For the past 17 years I've worked in Design, from large government agencies to small private firms. I retired from the U.S. Coast Guard in 2004, but my journey in art and design began decades before. As a young artist, I sold my work and exhibited in shows. From there I was drawn into graphic and web design. I graduated with a BFA and MA in Design at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design.
