My purpose in life is to tell the world’s stories through art and design, driven by love, creativity, imagination, health, and knowledge.
I am a Multimedia Specialist based in the Tri-Cities (Richland, Washington), with 21 years of experience in multimedia production. My journey has included 13 years in broadcasting, where I served as both a designer and director of local news. After my time in broadcasting, I became a marketing assistant for Northwest Anesthesia Seminars, a medical education company. I then pursued further education in Digital Technology and Culture at Washington State University, where I also worked as a designer for Northwest Public Broadcasting. Currently, I am an Independent Contractor for Northwest Anesthesia Seminars, focusing on design work, while also working in commercial production at KVEW-TV.
My expertise spans graphic design, video production, web design, technology, literature, writing, teaching, and mentoring. I am proficient in industry-standard tools such as Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere, Illustrator, After Effects, Dreamweaver, and WordPress. My skill set also includes copywriting and social media marketing. As a natural organizer and planner, I am often seen as a motivating presence and a natural leader.
Beyond my professional life, my greatest joy comes from spending time with my wife and our five children. We are passionate about the great outdoors—camping, hiking, gardening, and working in our yard. We also enjoy playing with our three dogs, Scout, Charlie, and Lily, and our two cats, Buddy and Cash. We share a love for working out, watching movies, playing games, exploring technology, and creating art together.
One of our most cherished creative projects is a stop-motion animated short film titled “Always and Forever.” Our film won 2nd prize overall at the 13th Annual 2021 TRIFI International Film Festival, along with awards for Best Use of Theme, Best Use of Line, and Best Use of Gesture.
