Nature-bound. Born in land-locked Pennsylvania but drawn to the coast. Initially having moved to St. Augustine, Florida to attend Flagler College in 2007; after graduating my enthusiasm for the local environment and inspiration drawn from it, has only grown. I began in the print industry directly after college, as the demand for philosophers during a recession is quite often lower than one would expect (a little humor). While learning the economics & technical skills of producing in the print industry; I had the opportunity of attending First Coast Technical College on full scholarship and graduated top 3 in my class in Aerospace Fabrication. Since graduation, I've been selling commission-based glass sculptures and delegate my print-career to problem solving specialty substrates while working hand-in-hand with local & passionate business owners. If you need a solutions architect that enjoys actively engaging in a learning environment in hopes of achieving the best final result, chances are that we may work well together.
