About

The Business Side

I am a veteran designer and branding specialist who has created custom artwork for multi-million dollar companies to professional athletes to prestigious PGA golf courses.

In 1995, my apparel designs were marketed across the United States through several ventures and could be seen in Sports Illustrated magazine. That same year, I created the number one selling apparel product for the world famous brand, Eskimo Joes.

I’ve been involved in launching three highly successful business ventures relating to web development and premium training. I now offer my services as a free agent consultant and designer and am currently speaking, writing, and coaching on entrepreneur related topics.

My passion is equipping others to build profitable, sustainable businesses across the globe.

The Personal Side

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember and always knew it would be my destiny to be an artist and designer — even though one of my elementary teachers told me I’d never make anything of my life because I would draw too much. Fueled with endless creativity and a rebellious spirit, I set out to prove her wrong at all costs.

I started my first business at age sixteen, where I customized Chuck Taylor tennis shoes and Levi’s 501 jeans with Sharpie pens and an airbrush. It was an awesome experience and I learned three important lessons in those early days:

  • If you want something, it ain’t gonna get handed to you.
  • If you like to make real money, make it for yourself.
  • If you want to do your own thing, you can, but it takes hard work.

These lessons and experiences have shaped me to what I am today. I’ve had the entrepreneurial passion ever since then and have never looked back.

Finally, I also have the honor of being married to my exquisite wife of twenty years, being a dad to the best two kids I could ever imagine, having served my country in the U.S. Army, and surrendering my life to Jesus Christ. These things are more important than any work I’ve done or will do in my life.
