About Me

I'm a practitioner of Zen. I live in a world were we define ourselves by our differences and strengthen our self images by living to justify our opinions.
I've been known to be into the Goth and Industrial Hard Rock scene although I still don't have any tattoos or piercings. For some reason, I like them on other people though.
During the day I'm the senior designer at Gardner Signs. I do all the art for Huntington Bank, Owens Illinois, Owens Corning, and most recently I'm doing some stuff for the MGM Grand Casino in Detroit. In the evening I run my ebay business which involves selling vinyl decals.

My Interests

Television:

Books:

Heroes:

My Cats Izzy and Simba.
