As a kid, I had high aspirations of acquiring YouTube fame, or working as a production assistant and screenwriter for television, or becoming a renowned novelist and journalist, or traveling the world as a photographer or documentarian. I thought I'd probably live on a coast and be changing the world in huge waves through my storytelling and charisma - maybe even as a motivational speaker or a lawyer and politician. 

I've yet to hold most of those job titles. However, because of those childhood aspirations, I spent several years writing, designing, interviewing, recording, photographing, producing and leading in various fields and other careers. 

​

In the time between using sleepovers to direct and edit 90-minute feature films to winning FCA awards as a videographer with coworkers in Indianapolis to teaching print journalism and design to now - about thirty years young - I've become that charismatic storyteller. 

My dream is to work for a company that I care about, utilizing my education and my many learned skills to make the world a better place (or at least a more aesthetically pleasing one).
