I first produced Graphic Designs for my high school football and wrestling programs (designs still used today). Once I realized I had a talent I could make money with I did what any teen age boy would do and started making fake ID's for all of my friends.​ ​ A phone call from the local sheriff to my father put an end to my counterfeiting days nearly as soon as they started, but the fact remained that I had a valuable skill. ​ Instead of the traditional route to professional success, I decided to forgo a formal education in the university system and found work as a sample printer in a garment manufacturing company. I would spend the next 20 years honing my skills while working in the design and production end of various graphics outlets: T-shirt Shop, T-shirt/Trophy Shop, T-shirt/Embroidery Shop, Embroidery Shop, TV Station, Print Shop, Tattoo Parlor, Newspaper, Sign Company, Construction Company, Sign Company, Picture Framing Company, Sign Company, Local YMCA. It's a long list, I know, but it also represents the diverse wealth of knowledge I have in the Graphics Industry. ​ Working for others since the age of thirteen finally got the better of me, and I decided to embrace the American Spirit and create a business of my own based on the simple concept - I can use the skills I've honed over the past twenty-plus years to provide the highest quality design and art services available anywhere.

Perhaps most importantly, I'm a single father and independent artist. I take pride in my work in order to produce high quality designs and art so that I can take time to be a good dad.
