I’d rather be on a beach with white sand between my toes.  Instead, I’m most likely sitting in front of a computer (which makes me wonder since when I was growing up, my mom always said not to sit too close to the TV, yet here I am sitting too close to a computer monitor), fiddling with my iPhone, or taking pictures of something (probably my cat).

Originally from near Cleveland, OH, I currently reside in Connecticut, and I develop broadcast graphics for ESPN.  If you’ve seen the touchscreen graphics on SportsCenter or SportsNation, then you’ve seen my work.

For my undergrad studies, I attended Mount Union College where I majored in Media Computing and minored in Political Science; for my graduate studies, I attended the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY where I earned my MFA in Computer Graphics Design.

Before coming to Connecticut and after leaving Rochester, I spent eight months in Phoenix, AZ to get a break from winter (there’s something magical about walking outside in December wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but you pay for it in the summer!).  And then I moved back to the frozen winter tundra and quickly realized I’m no fan of scraping snow and ice off my car.  Ever.

My thesis project at RIT was entitled “Counting the Vote: An Interactive Study of Electoral College Reform.”  You can view it here.

I enjoy being goofy, but often to a fault, I’m a perfectionist, a logic-oriented thinker, and a grammar nut (you can bet for sure I’m correcting someone in my head).  I like to laugh, and I like sprinkles.  And fruit smoothies.

Please drop me a line.  I’d love to hear from you!
