Personal

Born in Milwaukee, my father worked for IBM for 30 years — so “Think” magazine and the “8-bar” were as much a part of my life as “Chuck Taylors” and “Levis”.

My Mom was a “stay-at-home Mom” before that was a job, she took care of four kids with an ease that amazes me to this day. Her professional career began when she started working for JCPenny when we moved out east to Connecticut and the four of us had grown up to young adults. These two iconic brands influence my business sense and graphic design style and aesthetic sensibilities to this day.

I met my wife when I was 17 in the hallways of Greenwich High School, it was in an oceanography class (only in Greenwich) where I got the nerve to talk to her.  It went on to be a classic high school romance and it seemed to end when we both went to different colleges, but somehow we wound up back together. We married and moved from Connecticut to Virginia where we bought our first house, and we’ve lived ever since.

I am a Father of two great kids and I encourage them to this day to be a part of their communities, excel in school, and plan for the bright futures that lay ahead of them.  We live in Falls Church City, Virginia, we’re active in the community, and we spend summers on the Delaware shore, we travel occasionally and we enjoy our home and family immensely.
