A Bit About Me
I was born and raised in Western, NY and graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a BFA in Graphic Design. In 2013, I ventured out to the west coast and settled in Las Vegas to start my career path. Over the last 10 years, I have worked to advance my skills during my time as a designer, while I climbed the ladder to Creative Director.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter and doofy Golden Retriever, Cooper. As a family, we enjoy adventures like kayaking, hiking and spending time at the local park. During these adventures, I use my photography skills to capture the beauty of the outdoors and occasionally a wild floofy dog. I enjoy snowboarding as well, so when winter rolls around, I try and get up to the mountains and hit the slopes. During football season, you can find me watching the Buffalo Bills, as I am a life-long fan.
