I have a unique multi-faceted background in graphic design, fine art, photography and film. I consider myself a multimedia designer. As a multimedia designer, I blend my formal art training with new technology to create unified piece. As a child I was encouraged to have an open-mind and express my creativity. I was exposed to artist such as M.C. Escher, Peter Max, Salvador Dalí, The Beatles, and B
ob Dylan, just name a few. I was born in Philadelphia then I moved to Southern New Jersey. Growing up around the city of Philadelphia, I developed an appreciation for the city, the history, the buildings, and the people. The city has many colorful sights to offer and I enjoy capturing them with my photography. My attraction to Philadelphia became even stronger as my love for NFL Football began to grow. Some of my fondest childhood memories were of watching The Philadelphia Eagles with my father. I began my career at an early age. As a teenager I was given the opportunity to work with The Philadelphia Eagles Football Club as a Ballboy/Equipment Assistant. I worked alongside of Hall of Fame, All-Pro coaches and players such as Jon Gruden, Randall Cunningham, Charlie Garner, Brian Dawkins and Emmitt Thomas. After working for The Eagles I had the privilege of getting a position with NFL Films developing NFL Game footage for Media Distribution. Gladly I had the opportunity to work for one of my childhood idles, the late Steve Sabol. My other accomplishments include appearing as an extra in the Disney feature film ‘Annapolis’ starring James Franco and Tyrese Gibson. As an extra, I was given a unique perspective of film production, in regards to editing, direction, set design, and how to work with talent. My appreciation for media and design inspired me to pursue my education in graphic design and video production.
