I began studying graphic design in Orlando, Florida at a young age. After completing various production courses and an independent portfolio class, I was offered a scholarship to attend the Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio where I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Advertising and Graphic Design with a minor in Illustration. I've been designing and developing websites professionally since 2000. I specialize in building Content Management Systems (CMS) ranging from simple web page updates to robust versions that create new pages and directories on the fly. I've worked for various agencies in the Central Ohio area primarily as an Interactive Art Director.

Autism is a neurobiological disorder that affects speech, social behaviors, motor skills and communication. Autism is a spectrum disorder meaning each diagnosis is unique. Some may function well in society while others may require aids and intensive therapy their entire life.
Why am I including this on my porfolio site? My oldest son was diagnosed with high functioning autism at age three and my youngest son was following the same path as his brother. I put my work and personal life aside to research diets and therapies for both children. After nine months I discovered a diet that made dramatic changes in both boys. Within a week of being on this diet my youngest began to speak (after eight months of silence) and my oldest started engaging with people and speaking on his own. Within a few months he was discharged from speech and occupational therapy.
Please support autism research! The number of diagnosis in the 1980's was 4 to 5 in 10,000.
