About me.

I'm a dad to five kids — three biological, two adopted — and married to a woman who works full-time in foster care advocacy.

We've fostered in various capacities over the last decade. I helped Foster the City grow as a nonprofit, leading their rebrand and now serving on their advisory board.

The methods of creating vary. Acrylics, plaster, digital composites, murals, typographic posters, pencil sketches — all of it. Painting is where I process things that don't fit into a design system. It's less about the output and more about the act of making something with no brief.

I shoot when something catches my eye. No particular genre — landscapes, details, whatever feels worth stopping for.

I love cars, specifically old Mopars. Since high school, I've been wrenching on muscle cars, lifted Jeeps, and motorbikes (RIP). I'm currently building my first small-block motor for a swapped '72 Duster. Tactile work like this helps me bridge the gap between creative vision and solving difficult, real-life problems.
