With most of my official training completed with the Defense Information School and Southern Illinois University, I create to brand, entertain and because I love it. My talents, of which have been enhanced through training and personal practice, range from videography, graphic design, illustration, photography, photojournalism, copywrite, media management, public relations and a spectrum of other communication related skillsets.  I strive to be my best. Often, when I take on a project, I work to go above and beyond to achieve what the clients desires, envisions and expects. 

Thank you for your time.... talk to you soon. ;)
