I suppose I am a hybrid creative...two parts Graphic Designer/Creative Director, one part Photographer, and one part just an unleashed creative type who thrives on the opportunity to re-invent things.

Trained as a Graphic Designer, I graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2002, moved to Chicago shortly there-after, am now the Creative Director for industry-leading Levy Restaurants.

Love BIG ideas, learning new things, and I probably read way too many self-help books for my own good. I will also admit to have little formal training in photography and am still working on learning the technical tricks of the trade everyday - so most of what I do seems to simply be a lot of trial and error. But thank you to all the amazing photographers here on Flickr that inspire me to be so much better!

Lastly, I firmly believe that happiness in life is rooted in never losing sight of those childhood dreams...and I love to surround myself with positive, ambitious and uber-creative types who follow the same doctrine.
