I'm a native New Englander and former Coast Guard Veteran. I've been fascinated with digital tools, graphic art, and commercial reproduction since childhood. Over several decades I worked my way from high school trade programs, to making press plates and mixing ink in commercial print factories, to being a photographer, illustrator, and magazine cover designer with a world wide publisher. I moved on to art direction and production manager for a successful greeting card company, and finally ventured into the world as an independent contractor in 2007, providing a range of digital creative and management services to over 40 different clients nationally.
I am an accomplished brand developer, manager and steward with a holistic perspective and familiarity of marketing communications for business. Additionally I am a seasoned project manager, developer, and content provider with versatile technical skills. I am looking for new opportunities in my career.
