bio
Aptitude tests in high school reported I was best suited to be a farmer.
Expelled my senior year from Gonzaga High School, I still convinced the Catholic University of America to accept me without a high school diploma or SAT scores.
I made Dean's List & graduated with a BA in American History, then became a musician & songwriter, which I pursued as a living for a long time.
currently
I own a web development / design business - now in its 12th year - and work with clients of all types.
I am a member of the faculty at the Corcoran College of Art + Design and before that taught at the Catholic University of America. My courses include audio and video multimedia production, web-based interactive communication design, graphic design, art history and photojournalism classes.
