i love design. i mentally dissect everything i see in an effort to figure out how it was created, and how i would do it. i cannot see myself ever giving it up. i love music & working with musicians. i have been priveleged to work with an array of fantastic musicians and music industry professionals. i do a large amount of freelance work through a design collective I began in 2003 called Burn It Down Media. i was a print & web designer for a corporate design firm as well. i have an Associates Degree in Visual Communications & Design; however most of what i have learned has been through experience in the field and numerous hours spent immersed in design. i live in a suburb of Buffalo, New York with my beautiful wife Lynette and our cat, Benson. i mow my lawn and take out the trash. i believe in God and attend church regularly. i dabble in guitar & bass. i'm addicted to the shows lost, heroes, the office, and dorm life. feel like you know me yet? i think we're getting there.
