About
Welcome to my corner of Coroflot. I have been an industrial designer since 1999. I have spent most of my career with an emphasis on exhibit design, graphic design, model making, and some engineering and t-shirt work. I spent 5 years in the United States Army and was honorably discharged in 1995. I reside in Wyoming and have been the Exhibit Curator at the Wyoming State Museum since early 2014.
I'm am first and foremost a Catholic, husband, dad, biker, hunter, outdoorsman, artist, graphic and exhibit designer and curator extraordinaire. I have been blessed to have a long career doing a multitude of interesting and creative things!
Thanks!
