Employment History

I tried a lot of things as a teenager and also during my art school days, truck driver–40’ flatbed for US Steel, movie usher, cook, warehouse shipping clerk and plastic factory stooge. None of which could I see making a career out of. I fell into design because I could draw and found I had a talent for it in college. In 1985, I took my first job in the biz, doing storyboards, ad comps and whatever else was thrown my way. This was back in the days of rubber cement, type houses and markers for all you youngsters who can’t imagine life without a Mac. I’ve owned a business and worked on both the advertising and design side of the business. I currently am the design director at Greenfield/Belser.

When I'm Not Working, I Particularly Enjoy

Hanging out with my two daughters. Can’t beat that.
