Biography

I originated from New Mexico as a cattle rancher before moving to California where I made posters for my Punk Rock band who opened for some well know bands from The Dickie's to Blank-182. I learned graphic design while working at a large print shop in Southern California where my boss gave me a chance to design a poster for club in Hollywood. The client loved it and I continued designing for club events and massive rave parties before becoming the ad coordinator at the worlds largest skateboard company of it’s time World Industries. I went on to work for some boutique design agencies and eventually some of the worlds largest advertising agencies. Design projects include campaigns for corporate giants: General Electric, Philip Morris, and Deloitte. Television and film studios including NBC, CBS, Universal, and Touchstone Films. The Grammy Awards. Leading audio brands Pioneer, and BOSE. Technological innovators including Sun Microsystems, Western Digital, and Epson. Automotive brands BMW, Lexus, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Jeep, Hyundai, and Nissan as well as an award winning site for the Kia Rondo. In collaboration with or for Deutsch Advertising Agency, Saatchi and Saatchi, Leo Burnett, Team One, iCrossing, Wongdoody and Ad2 Interactive.
After that I worked directly with Golden Globe winner and three time Academy Award nominated actor and film maker Ed Norton in philanthropic campaigns including funding for water filtration and wildlife conservation in Africa while working with crowdrise.com who has now merged with GOFUNDME. Additionaly we did many campaigns for the Boston, NYC, and Los Angeles Marathons, the University of Michigan, and Habitat for Humanity to name a few. More recently I founded a few small startups before relocating to Paris France to care for my ninety-eight year old grandmother.
