About Me


A pioneer on the cutting edge of new media frontiers, I have dedicated my life to the achievement of excellence in all creative pursuits. I am a classically trained vocalist who writes jazz ballads and bluesy come-ons (and enjoys Patsy Cline). I started graphic design on a Mac Plus in 1988 and haven't looked back. I have kept pace with nearly every possible gadget and tool that allows me to expand my burgeoning artistic vision. Photography, poetry, videography, music, web media... all apsects that coalesce into my unique creations.
I enjoy working with other creative visionaries as well. From writers to rappers, fashion designers and poets, I have collaborated with a variety if artisans with spectacular results.
Most importantly, I am a proud husband and father who loves singing to and with his wife. We make appearances in various L.A. venues to always appreciative audiences. We also work together in providing top quality graphic expertise to a long list of top tier clientele.
As you quickly find out upon meeting me, I am also a Life Member of Kappa Alpha Psi and treasure my many years within the Bond. Kappa Alpha Psi has provided me with my longest-lasting and most meaningful friendships and I take my oath VERY seriously. TOWKIOSR to those in the know...
