I started working in design-related fields in college when I worked in the Theatre Department as a stage technician and sound designer. I later shifted focus to the epicurean pursuits — working in restaurants and moving my way up to head baker — while finishing my degree in broadcast and electronic communication.
When I began my Master’s at Marquette University, I narrowed my focus of study from radio, TV, and film to Computer Arts and New Media with an interest in visual rhetorical criticism. While at Marquette, I began work on Captain Dementia, an online animated series about a superhero who can't quite remember what he's fighting for. I also took classes in Computer Arts and New Media at the Academy of Arts University in San Francisco.
Though my spare time is limited, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons, collecting memorabilia from Tiki and Lounge culture, playing bass, and talking with new people. Other hobbies include cartoons, reading, cooking, bicycling, developing a warped sense of humor, and listening to everything from Charles Mingus and Juan Garcia Esquivel to the White Stripes and Pink Martini. Ask me what I'm listening to, and it will never be the same thing twice.
