I am the owner of an advertising agency that produces television commercials, promotional videos, print, logo design & corporate identity, website development and photography. We service most of the Metro Detroit area with nearly 1000 clients. When I am not using my studio for client based work, I'm in the Mad Lab kicking out some of my own artwork.
While I am a business owner, I have a BFA in Animation and a Minor in Photography, making me an artist at heart. I enjoy directing & producing indy films, like "Shadows on the Wall". Fine art photography, and other forms of art, are also passions of mine. My work has been featured in numerous galleries & magazines both here in the U.S. and abroad.
I also enjoy the sciences. Art and science go hand in hand in everything I do. That's why I also indulge in oceanography, psychology, biology, philosophy, astronomy, physics, etc. I have a pet Male Albino Bermeise Python, Green Tree Python, Carpet Python, Ball Python and a 300 gallon salt water Aquarium consisting of a Nurse Shark, Eels and other various animals.
Aside from taking care of my pets, I also enjoy going clubbing, working on my own artwork, working out, road trips, museums, reading, movies, cooking and intellectually stimulating conversations.
While I am agnostic yet spiritual and my artwork/imagination is rather liberal, many of my family values and what I look for in a relationship are very conservative. I am very close to my family (3 brothers, 1 sister and amazing parents). I believe in living life with honor. I stay true to who I am, love what I do, am honest to everyone and passionate about life. I do not wear my heart on my sleeve and believe that a love that doesn't discriminate forfeits it's own value. I believe a relationship, or anything further, should always be front and center in life. I expect nothing more out of a relationship that I am happy to give. If things appear to be shaddy, they probably are and if they're not your partner shouldn't be doing shit that appears shaddy; it's rude and disrespectful. I believe in fairness across the board and pulling your own weight, but I do not give into people with entitlement complexes.

Quotes:
The Paradox of Our Time:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom.
– George Carlin
