About

I am an artist and web developer based in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. Using Flash, HTML, and CSS, I create interactive media for online e-learning courses and websites. I have been illustrating, animating, and coding in Adobe Flash since 1999, and began creating websites about the same time. Before that, I was the Creative Director at Clear Channel Outdoor Advertising in Jacksonville, Florida.

My hobbies include working on my classic Ford Mustang, and being involved in my local Mustang club. I serve as the webmaster, and have designed the  artwork for the annual car show for the past 6 years.
