JD-Pic200The Edited Version

I am a serial entrepreneur and designer who believes there is nothing more liberating and exhilarating than doing your own thing and starting a business.   And I’ve been living that dream for over 20 years now.

Back in 1986 I started shooting paint through an airbrush and customizing anything I could put some ink on.  I always wanted to do things differently than the status quo and earned somewhat of a “punk” status.  It didn’t help that one of my teachers told me I’d never do anything with my life.  Guess I proved her wrong.

Fast forward two decades.

I’ve done some awesome artwork along the way, creating stuff for Eskimo Joes, the Green Bay Packers, BMW, Arnold Palmer, Pebble Beach, The Rose Bowl, Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma University, and a bunch of other sports teams.  But the coolest, most rewarding work has been for church plants, unknown rock bands, and motocross dudes.  They appreciate the true art.

But that’s not all!

Somewhere along the lines I shed some of the rebellious attitude (I said some) and started doing branding and design for businesses.  All of which has led me to my current gig at WebDesign.com, where I am charging the hills to build a category killing business that helps others live their entrepreneurial dreams.

The Best of The Best

The best stuff though is that I’ve done things only others dream about.  My proudest memories and accomplishments have nothing to do with stupid awards or making money, instead they are way more important…

  • Giving my life to Jesus Christ and being transformed by His Grace
  • Being married to my awesome wife of 18 years
  • Having two amazing kids that I am really proud of
  • Served in and Honorably Discharged from the Army Reserve
  • Served as a youth pastor and in church planting
  • Mentored at-risk youth from all walks of life

Other than my addictions to purchasing domain names, digging Japanese tattoos, collecting weapons, and fixing up my ‘66 Oldsmobile, there’s not much else.
