I'm a seriously mad commercial artist, small business marketing consultant, identity designer, entrepreneur, and aspiring writer. I'm also a grateful father to four boys and a second-time, future husband to a lovely, talented, and brilliant woman.

Having been self-employed for a number of years, I've decided to re-evaluate my life plan in the wake of the Great Recession and re-focus on my childhood dreams of writing and illustrating beautiful works of horror and suspense fiction.

I have also recently given up any notions of starting my own design and marketing firm. I tried it and, while I'm grateful for the experience, I learned that I'm not as analytical and organized as I should be to effectively run a firm. I am, however, perfectly suited to managing myself as an independent consultant and freelancer, which is what I'm going back to.
