I am a Senior Illustrator, Designer, and Animator with over two decades of experience and a passion for visual storytelling. Known for my gregarious nature and fun collaborative style, I specialize in creating compelling imagery across print, web, and digital media, transforming complex ideas into engaging graphics. My digital art and animations have driven successful marketing campaigns for notable clients including Intuit, Shutterfly, Abbott, and Medtronic.

Career highlights include receiving 17 commendation letters, including recognition from the Secretary of Defense, for delivering high-quality, time-sensitive presentations as an Art Director at Unisys. Acknowledged as one of Adobe's Top 100 Digital Illustrators, my work was showcased in the Adobe Illustrator 6.0 product CD art gallery. I am also featured in every volume of the award-winning "The Adobe Illustrator WOW! Book" by Sharon Steuer. My favorite notable achievement would be an Adobe award winning medical prototype animation being cited as "directly responsible" by Prolifix Medical's CEO for securing $8M in seed funding for their "Helixciser" device. Additionally, I am an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) in Illustrator CS6 and provide prerelease testing for AI/PS CC 2025.


Beyond my Mac, I recently completed a 9-year stint (2009-2021) on CBS’s Blue Bloods as a SAG-AFTRA actor, portraying NYPD Police Commissioner Frank Reagan's (Tom Selleck) Security Detail. What was working with Tom like? He's a perfectionist like me, of course!
