I've always loved learning new things and hearing people's stories. I suppose that's what got me into design: listening to the goals of my clients and helping them reach them through visual branding and design. My personal passions are the following, not in any order of priority: God, my kiddos, graphic design, cheese, home-made meals, friends, friends who laugh, friends who don't laugh but still put up with my puns, people who like puns, people who don't like puns but reasonably tolerate them, funny videos on YouTube, epic music, long drives, smells that take me back in an instant to 20 years ago (how does that even work?!?). Things that aren't a passion but that would sure be easier to do if they were: working out, going to bed at a decent hour, filling out long spreadsheets of data, not losing my cool when my five-year-old says he doesn't like cheesy broccoli even though he absolutely loved it the last time we ate it. What do I want to be when I grow up? A better listener, more gentle, more fun, more adventurous, more patient, less sappy.
