Thanks for stopping by!

As you are reading this, there is a good chance I am giving my son a piggy back ride, doing some amazing coloring with my daughter or just enjoying a moment of peace with my wife while the kids take a nap. My family is very important to me and inspires me to continue creating and participating in fun projects. I've been very fortunate to have had such great opportunities. I feel each experience has helped me grow and expand my level of expertise.
