About

I am a creative professional, with over 32 years of professional experience as a graphic designer, 18 years as an art director and 7 years as a creative director. My passion is discovering the best way to do, say or show things that get straight to the point and are easily understood. I also love the challenge of leading teams to produce exceptional work while mentoring them to become better versions of themselves. 

Having grown up in my family’s auto parts store in Corte Madera, I was taught at an early age how to pitch in and get things done for all areas of an organization. As an art director/ designer, my "McGuyver" attitude would most certainly be an asset to any studio environment.

Please review my résumé here.

I am a native of Northern California, Marin County to be exact. I moved to San Diego in 1986 to attend San Diego State University and decided to stay. You can usually find me playing or attending a sporting event, taking in a movie or dining at one of the many exceptional Mexican food restaurants in town.
