Who am I?
I live near Buffalo, NY and have been here going on a year and a half. I love to design websites and print material and have been doing so since 2001 when I got my first job as an ad designer at the Tennessee Star Journal in Tennessee. After a period of working at the Journal, I was offered a job at Peacock Advertising Agency in Sevierville, TN.
It was at the Ad Agency that I really became knowledgable in the art of design and marketing. I had the privladge of working under the marketing genius of James A. Peacock who has seen it all during his 35 years of experience.
I left Peacock Advertising when I saw the need to move north to be closer to family. I worked at the Arlington Catholic Herald in Arlington, Virginia as the Senior Ad Designer for a year until I saw the call to take on an internship at the Bible Presbyterian Church in Buffalo, NY. Since then, I have been working for the church as I prepare for the pastorate in about 6-7 years. Meanwhile, I have been doing freelance design work and ministry design outreach.
