I’m a fun and passionate creative who has served in both online marketing and ministry worlds. I’m 34 years old with a beautiful wife and 3 kids.

I have over 10 years of experience with Mac systems and software, in addition to other “must know” programs for the creative field. Video editing, social networking, copywriting and creative marketing solutions are my areas of expertise. I have a creative mind, along with a “get it done” attitude – which brings me success in several venues, including missions work, ministry environments, and running several successful side ventures. I approach projects with a “bite-by-bite” attitude, beginning with the end in mind and taking care to see a project through completely. I am timely, I can coordinate many projects at once, and meet aggressive deadlines. I am very personable, and enjoy face-to-face communication and relationships with others, which make me thrive in a team based or open creative environment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” text_align=”left” column_margin=”default”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom”][fancy-ul icon_type=”standard_dot” alignment=”left” spacing=”20px”]
