I was born in Oklahoma, but raised in Texas near Austin. During high school I completed an architecture internship and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I graduated in 2001 and attended UNT.

I graduated UNT with one of the top 10 portfolios in my class. I ran the student graphic design club and designed our school's annual art and literature journal. I've won a few awards at the DSVC National Student Show and Conference as well as the Creative Summit. I've had some totally awesome internships over the past year, and in June of 2007 I participated in Project M, an intense experimental design project run by John Bielenberg.

I'm currently working full time at The Decoder Ring in Austin, Texas.
