Every route has scenery you don't put in the case study. Here's some of what's off to the side of mine, one stop at a time.
I grew up in New England, an artistic kid in a bubble of sports and outdoor activities. I learned to love all three, but my early years were mostly spent sketching, reading comics, and filming home movies with my twin brother, now an engineer at Amazon.
I made my way west for art school in San Francisco, where I met my wife. I bounced around the Bay Area working for startups before eventually making my way down to Los Angeles for jobs at Myspace and the NFL.
I enjoy traveling (doesn't everyone?), but for me it's about finding a secluded spot or getting mixed up in the history, culture, or cuisine of a place. I love the game and the business of sports, and making things with whatever tools are at my disposal. I'm always down for trivia, escape rooms, movie scores, or movie nights.
I live in a small town between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Mountains. I somehow ended up on a ranch with livestock, surrounded by orchards, far from everything and close to nothing. It's my design retreat, and it's let me form a deeper relationship with my craft. But this is only truly basecamp because of my amazing wife and kids 🙂
Well, I wasn't expecting a chance encounter with you. I'm glad you found something interesting on my portfolio, or just wanted to see what was at the end! Either way, thanks for making this a stop along your busy day. If you want to chat, let's connect.
