About
  • 2002: I began studying Graphic Design at Grace College in Winona Lake, IN.
  • 2005: Through involvement in the Orthopaedic Scholar Institute, I was invited to participate in a graphic design internship at Kosciusko Community Hospital, while finishing my final year of formal study.
  • 2006: After graduating, off I went with my carefully-crafted portfolio (and my new red-headed wife!) in search of a job and was quickly offered one at The Image Group, Inc., located just north of my alma mater.
  • 2006–Present: Currently, you can find me at The Image Group, Inc., a design agency and commercial printer, creating marketing materials and visual identities for companies of all sizes. Working directly with the press has allowed me to hone my skills in what is now my passion—printed material. (You might also find me in my home studio working with freelance clients.)
