Years ago, I was a struggling artist when a company NEIP (Northeast Internet Publishing) approached me to do some design work for them. So you could say from then on I began my way into the interactive school of hard knocks. NEIP liked my illustrative capabilities and thought I would transition well into graphic arts and web development so they took me on. Not having any experience in web design I started to research and work at graphics arts and web design. At the time there were little to no courses who offered a web design or development program. Now all of academia is offering classes in interactive development and you now have a web dog on every corner. Self taught at NEIP; I eventually became their lead designer and production coordinator for over four years.

I then decided it was time for a change. I looked into other companies that offered more than just web design services. That eventually led me to meet Marc Dole. Marc Dole is a well known video editor, producer and has expertise in 3D animation and special effects. Most of the projects we worked on tie into each others skill sets very well. After a few years of ramping up and transitioning I helped to develop the birth of Hatching Studios. I took on the roll of VP of Interactive operations and lead creative as well as art director for the animation dept. I helped the company grow by assisting in most every aspect of the interactive business. One of my talents is the ability to feel out what the client wants right away and visually define the end result quickly. It starts by listening. I will then apply what I have learned to my design approach. I keep in mind every aspect of their needs to cover every aspect of telling the right story. Knowing what the client wants initially saves time and money and giving what their customer wants makes for less revisions. Sounds easy, but its much harder than it sounds. Hatching has become very respected and recognized over the years and is still putting out great creative.

I am now working as the creative director for Piehead. I oversee the design department and I am proud to be working with the whole team there. They are a fun bunch of experts who are bleeding edge practitioners.

Things personal about about me? Hmmm well.. I enjoy snowboarding in the winter and surfing in the summer. I try to do nothing as much as I can and never seem to get around to doing that. I live in Dover NH with my awesome wife Julie and my 3 kings Owen, William and Aaron.

Having a long self paved background in design and web development allows me to quickly recommend and develop rapidly. Been there done that. Let’s do what’s next.
