GRAFIKER | LITERATURIST | KEYFRAMER | SEQUENTIALIST | JERK

Born and raised in Massachusetts, north of Boston. Went to Haverhill High School. Commuted to MassArt for awhile - majored in nothing in particular. Worked some god-awful chain store retail. Moved to western Mass, grew particularly fond of sentence fragments; decided to stay.

I've been graphically designing since around 1996 or so, starting at a cash register at Turn It Up CDs, which somehow led to creating their print and radio advertising. I eventually wrote and directed a TV spot for 'em, and that got me hired at Broadside (UK) making corporate sales animations. Now I'm all freelancy and shit, working from my home office (and occasionally at Woodstar, Esselon, Sam's, Evolution, and anywhere else that has coffee and a free table).

I can do anything I set my mind to, I just can't do any of it particularly well. HAW! HAW! At various times over the last few decades I have played the role of graphic designer, illustrator, cartoonist, art director, audio mixer, foley artist, copy editor, Powerpoint creator, writer, layout dude, web designer, web programmer, voiceover artist, comic book publisher, music editor and animator. I also like to make long rambling sentences full of keywords so Google will like me. I am what the Japanese would call a producer.

I make all sorts of stuff for all kinds of people from all over the place. I still do corporate work, but almost none of it is represented on this site--this site leans a bit more towards the fun stuff. If you'd like to contact me about perhaps doing some stuff for you, then by all means study the column to the left and choose a mode of communication that best suits your needs. I recommend e-mail, since you're on the internet right now.
