After graduating with a Graphic Design degree I spent my first year as an Art Director for a magazine followed by 8 years with a major Ag Equipment manufacturer gaining valuable experience in both the Parts Divisions and the Wholegood division. I know how a dealer network works and what they need. After that I moved over to the Advertising Agency side and have been there now for 12 years as an Art Director working on many Fortune 500 companies in all aspects of Marketing.

This type of "can do" attitude is now integrated in every project I work on. I can easily work with a In-house design staff or complete a project from concept to finished print. I also have many professional contacts in the form of Commercial Photographers, Writers and Designers that I have had the pleasure of working with
