ABOUT ME

Hello, and thank you for visiting my website.
To give you a little background information about myself, I'll start with my educational experience. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a BFA degree in Art. I received the Best In Show award at the Senior Art Show and during my four years at WCU, I contributed cover designs for the campus
literary publication and also served as Publicity chairman for the Wesley
Foundation on campus where I received their outstanding member award
during my junior year at college.
After serving four years in the U.S. Air Force, I applied my artistic talents over
the following eight years as a graphic artist in Goldsboro, Shelby and Charlotte,
North Carolina. While working as a fabric design artist in Charlotte, I learned
about a local publishing company in Shelby, that was expanding their staff
and publication line. I began as a contributing artist to their monthly
satellite industry publication while continuing my work in Charlotte.
Three months later I was hired as a production artist for a new
weekly television publication they were launching in 1984. Within
a year I was promoted to Art Director and then Editor, a position I
have held for the last twenty three years. The new publication
would grow over the next 10 years to become the number one
satellite television guide in the country with nearly 500,000
subscribers and twelve editions.
I began experimenting with website design a few years back.
What began as a hobby has grown to a passion of mine, and I now
find myself spending most of my time in pursuit of this exciting
and challenging new career direction.
