It almost feels misrepresentative to say, “here’s my portfolio,” when everything I’ve done in my career has been flanked by creative leadership providing invaluable direction and brilliantly talented designers, illustrators, and animators providing support. I’ve come to realize that being surrounded by collaborators who inspire and challenge me is a professional necessity. 
If we can work together on inspiring and challenging things, I’d love to work with you! 
The reel and the case studies on this site are representative of the sort of work that really plays to my strengths as a director and manager. Namely, they are 2D designs bound for any application you can think of, but social media, video, and print are the outputs where I have the most experience. 
In my leisure time, I’m happiest when I’m playing bass guitar, seeing live music, doing my best on the basketball court, hanging out by the river, rooting on my Cleveland sport teams, and skiing.
