I graduated from the DAAP School of Design at UC in June of 2009 with a degree in Digital Design. Upon graduating, I freelance for nine months until starting at Seek in March of 2010. I love what I do and would not choose to have any other job in the world. When I was a Junior in college I met the girl of my dreams and we just celebrated our two year anniversary in June. My family is originally from Northern Ohio, but recently located to Asheville North Carolina.

Here's the random stuff...

  1. Blue or black pens? Why?
    Black....as a designer I have to make sure that things always look visually appealing; since Black is a neutral color you can pair it with any other color and it will look great. Also that was the color of the pen laying on my desk when I was asked this question.
  2. Ideal vacation (no budget limit, 2 weeks maximum)?
    French Tahiti...I have always wanted to stay in one of those huts on the water. I would just lounge around, play some beach volleyball, and go sailing.
  3. Best Halloween costume you’ve ever worn?
    Man I have had some good ones, thanks mostly to my mom lol. I think I was a crayon when I was like 5...maybe a foreshadowing of my future talents?
  4. Something nobody at Seek knew about you before you answered this question?
    I'm still afraid of the dark.
  5. Do you sleep with one or two pillows? Why
    Two, its just more comfortable that way.
  6. If you had to live on nothing but fast food for two weeks, what would be your meal of choice?
    Blech...I don't really eat fast food, but I will make an exception for Chipotle. So my meal would be a Chicken Burrito with rice and black beans.
  7. It’s a warm summer night and you’re sitting on the front porch...what drink is in your hand?
    A Great Lakes Burning River.
