JUST LOOK at that dramatic and creative-like stare.

I’ve spent the last 17 years working in advertising,
contracting, marketing, higher-ed, game publishing
and software. My work has been featured in dozens
of online galleries, 2 “best-of” books, and 1 weird
European magazine. I’ve written 3 books for the
Kindle, I’ve managed projects in 5 states, I’ve
enjoyed an expansive career in digital art
and branding, and if I end this paragraph
with my signature, I’m pretty sure it’ll
look all, like, way smart and official.

I’m currently serving as the multifarious Art Director for Smartsheet, a cloud-based SaaS company in Bellevue, WA with a product that lives in the browser and on mobile. I manage a team of 5 designers (senior staff, production, interns), and together we oversee the visual integrity of the Smartsheet brand.

I also bring my own coffee to work every day in a little thermos that makes me look like I know stuff. Please do not reveal my lies.

It’s only kinda fancy.

I grow ever-closer to growing a ponytail and having my wife introduce me at parties as "a novelist."

One book of essays and two science fiction novels down. Next: A bloody epic about moonshining-whale-slavers and how I overthrew the whole lot, alone, with my bare hands and an ivory comb given to me by the ghost of William Howard Taft.

Check em' out over on Amazon.
