About Me:: (Arete, not the short, snappy, online vernacular of dezumo land but this is me—take it or leave it ;-)

1. Christian 2. Family man 3. Hard worker and lastly 4. Designer. In that order.

They each compliment each other and are the build of who I am. But why is design last? Everything that I stand for and everything that I am is the foundation for my design. Design then comes out of the needs, hopes and experiences of my life. By putting design in its place it becomes valuable and filled with purpose.

How? I think design, I see design and I talk design—but all through the eyes of what I have seen to be valuable. What is valuable to life, what is valuable to people.Therefore, design becomes valuable.

Creating a foundation for design since 1983. Making it a full time vocation since 2000.
