Okay...don't need one...but have one now so I can be on my friends' space pages!

About Me

Originally from Mentor, Ohio, I moved to Florida in 1997 to pursue a career with the Walt Disney World Resort. I still work there to this day and enjoy the relationships I have built with everyone at the Magic Kingdom.

I'm a self-taught Graphic Designer, who has built their own homepage from the ground up and is looking to start an online business targeted at personal and small business website design and production. Graphics projects I have worked on for the Walt Disney Company include Disneyland Resort's Ticket Vending Machine Touch Screens (concepts), Walt Disney World's Ticket Vending Machine Touch Screens (concepts), Hong Kong Disneyland's Ticket Vending Machine Touch Screens (actually put into production), Virtual Pins for Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom (over 100 in the game, and 15 made into real-world Cast Member exclusives), Miscellanious signage (Frontierland Operations Office). I have a bunch of other smaller projects I have been proud to be a part of, but don't want to bore you!

Currently, I am working on my own virtual world, which puts everything I have learned in the areas of graphic and website design into an experience designed to tell the visitor my life's story as well as the story of things I find to be inspiring or just plain cool.

My Interests

Music, Graphic Design, Decorating, and Gaming.

I'd like to meet:

Mary Blair, Rolly Crump, Shag, Gwen Stephani, Hilary Duff, Annette, Walt Disney (if I could go back in time), and anyone who appreciates my artwork.

Music:

Pretty much every genre. I like a little pop, club, country, rap, rock, classical, and anything cultural. The only thing I just can't get into is death metal.

Movies:

Love comedies and anything that makes you think. The Matrix Trilogy, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Star Wars, Oceans 11, any Animated Feature or classic live-action film by Disney.

Television:

Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Enterprise, Star Trek The Next Generation, Channel 13 News, Simpsons, Family Guy, How Clean Is Your House?, Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Squidbillies.

Books:

I think books are great...but they are better used as decoration than actual entertainment...sorry.

Heroes:

Walt Disney, Mary Blair, Shag, and my parents.
