I’m a Senior Medical Illustrator, Animator, and Retoucher with nearly three decades of experience helping healthcare and scientific teams turn complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals. My work spans medical illustration, animation, and retouching for education, marketing, and large-format booth displays, always with a focus on clarity, accuracy, and real-world use.

Throughout my career, I've received numerous accolades, including 17 commendation letters from high-profile clients such as the US Army Secretary of Defense for delivering high-quality, time-sensitive presentations. Recognized as one of Adobe's Top 100 digital illustrators, my work was showcased in an earlier version of Adobe Illustrator's product art gallery. My work has also been featured in every volume of "The Adobe Illustrator WOW! Book" by Sharon Steuer. A standout achievement includes my prototype animation being cited as "directly responsible" by Prolifix Medical's CEO for securing $8 million in seed funding for their "Helixciser" device. Lastly, I'm an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) in Illustrator and Photoshop and also participate in beta testing for Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CC 2026.

Beyond my Mac, I recently completed a 9-year stint (2012-2021) on CBS’s Blue Bloods as a SAG-AFTRA actor, portraying NYPD Police Commissioner Frank Reagan's (Tom Selleck) Security Detail. I can also be found rooting hard for my New York Mets and New York Giants, although the past decade is testing my patience!
