A little bit about myself. I was born in a birthing center in heartland of Real America, Oklahoma, to parents that were so awesome they had to separate their awesomeness to opposite coasts in America. I would grow up mostly on the Westside, while spending enough time on the Eastside to know my way around Maryland. Staying in the west for all of my formal primary education through the states of California and Idaho, including my first international experience for some junior high years in the country of Texas. For those who don’t think Texas is it’s own country; one, don’t know their history, and two, are probably damn Yankees.
I have always had a strong commitment to service. I spent two years on a volunteer theological mission in the Baltimore, Maryland area, which was based on the hit show The Wire. I would go on to enlist with the Idaho Air National Guard, helping defend the freedom of Idahoans one photograph at a time. I would then volunteer to serve photographs for the U.S. Air Force for six months in an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia that looked very similar to Doha, Qatar and later a six month experience in beautiful, scenic; Bagram Afghanistan.
I married my beautiful wife as we attended the Fiesta Bowl Championship (2007, 2010) school Boise State University together (Go Broncos). She graduated first and supported/suffered as I finished my Bachelor of Art degree, with the many accompanying art projects, photo developing chemicals in the bathroom, and other disasters/art projects in our house. I continue to expand my creativity and develop my art education. I believe that a good designer is always looking for inspiration through a variety of experiences.
