About Me

My tastes lean toward the creative side but I am also very practical. I enjoy all aspects of the arts. I currently own a graphic design company for which I am also the creative director. I have staff in Denver, Dallas, Austin, and Chicago.
I love the mountains. (I just returned from an expedition to the base camp of Mt. Everest in Nepal.) I am so excited to have finally found an opportunity to live closer to them here in Denver. I enjoy snowboarding, skiing, hiking, mountainbiking, triathlon, golf, tennis, racquetball and yoga. Even though I don't play basketball, I am a big NBA fan and love going to games. I will always be a Dallas Mavericks fan (Go Dirk!), but look forward to going to some Nuggets games this season.
My guilty pleasure is watching funny chick flicks (Don't judge me!).
Music has always been a big part of my life. I was a starving musician throughout college. Since then I have worked and consulted in every facet of the music industry. A powerful song is always an inspiration to me.
I work alot but I make my own schedules. I prioritize a healthy and happy lifestyle over climbing the corporate ladder.
Less than 1% of the female population is 5'10" or taller... Sucks for me.
I play chess to relax. (strange, but true)
My personality can change from serious to goofy with one can of Diet Coke.
Some inspirational words from the bathroom wall at Lovejoy's Bar in Austin, TX :
"Most people do what they're told. They watch all of the popular TV shows. They communicate using email and fax machines, read Michael Crichton novels, drink Miller Lite, listen to top 40 radio, go dancing on Friday night and to dinner and a movie on Saturday. These folks are good people and they are generally happy. Then there are the "others". Cut from a different fabric, these "others" seek a different sort of hero from within and outside their community. They prefer conversation and camaraderie to television. They write love letters, music, prose and poetry. They create. Their palates persue potions of different varieties, not the ones in all the ads. These folks don't always do what they're told. Mere existence is not good enough. These people live. Celebrate life."

My Interests


I like to look at art and listen to music and sometimes I make my own.
