Creative/creator. Problem-solver. Dad. Mountain biker, pizza maker, gardener, music-lover, music-maker/dabbler, image-maker. Sports fan, sports participant.

SoCal-native turned PNW-local, I’ve embraced the quirkiness that makes things special around here.

No, I’m not talking about Voodoo Donuts, Powell’s Books, etc.

Rather, the special places:

Seeing a favorite band at Mississippi Studios with less than a hundred other fans. Not a bad sightline in the house. Great sound, quirky staff, good vibes.

Hitting Tito’s Taquitos after a tough ride, dreaming of the crunchy, rich but well-balanced goodness, as they lovingly create magic in the kitchen.

Walking Arch Cape beach on a day filled with cloud breaks, alternating between sunshine and sprinkles, saying “hi” to the few people you encounter, as it’s that kind of place.

And of course, riding pretty much any trail, especially with friends. Grinding the uphill, flowing the downhill, being in the moment with the experience. Because, you can’t not be in the moment when riding.

Since this isn’t a dating profile nor a travel brochure, here’s a little about my work journey:
I’ve been an in-house, agency and start-up creative and leader, working on environments/spaces, signage, trade shows and events, branding, photo shoots, communications, and many types of digital/online deliverables. Sports and fitness, outdoors, lifestyle, tech. Done it.

Give me a problem, I’ll help solve it, and make it visually appealing.
