I am a 40-year-old father of five girls, and as such, am very bald! I am currently a deputy sheriff in South Georgia and have been in law enforcement for 16 years. My writing background is mainly hereditary. My grandfather was a published poet in Brooklyn, NY, and he inspired and instructed me very early in life. I was a sports editor for our local newspaper and also covered the police beat (imagine that) before the paper was sold and downsized. Additionally, I have been published in a local lifestyle magazine. I currently write a faith-based blog at www.holyghostbumps.wordpress.com. I also have an Associates Degree in Education with an English emphasis. While my writing background may not be very extensive, I posess the creativity, story-weaving skills and passion for writing necessary to get your job done.

As long as I have been a child, and had the ability to hold a pencil, I wanted to be an artist. There was something about moving my hand across a piece of paper and seeing the lead adhere to the tooth/ texture caused an instant joy. That feeling of pure joy, to this day, still resides in me. I remember loving to get my hands dirty with many mediums and how fun it was to smear these materials onto a piece of paper, board, canvas etc... etc...Having the chance to see something appear before my eyes after time passed was so very gratifying and it still is gratifying with each piece I create. I love looking at other artwork as well, and have learned so much from so many different artists and friends with many as well. I have a B.A. Degree from Cal State University, Fullerton where I majored in stage design focusing on mainly strong compositions. I have worked on some stage designs, but found that I enjoyed doing my own individual work better. However, I still love the whole collaboration process that the performing arts have to offer. I grew up very close to Disneyland, and I remember seeing the caricature artists drawing. I enjoyed seeing the marker glide on the paper, and what courage it takes to be confident enough to make a whole entire drawing in 5 minutes. I took many art classes to become more rounded including 3D design, Sculpture, life Drawing etc... etc... I now do many caricature events, illustrative work, sculpture (different mediums), drawing and painting, Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi, and always interested in giving other mediums a try. I have knowledge of computer programs like Painter, Sculptris, some Z Brush knowledge and Photoshop. I am responsible, very hard working and always wanting to my very best for my clients. I look forward to being on Freelanced. Thank you.

I’m a former Microsoft Software Engineer, with multiple tours on the Redmond campus with Microsoft Research, Bing Maps and Windows Vista. I worked on the core development team at PredixionSoftware.com, contributing to their predictive analysis and data visualization tools, and worked as an independant contractor at Amazon. Currently employed at Koverse, contributing the UI and building on my work as a technology mash-up artist with a penchant for applied statistics. I’m also a writer, musician and graphic artist with a significant web presence. I’m a retired ballet dancer (Houston Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, Ballet Austin) and Seattle-area top-10 independent metal guitarist, the voice of Simeon in the animated opera Liberteria, and host of the weekly internet radio show Rango Unmuzzled. I also enjoy combining graphical collateral with my programming and musical interests to create deeply textured composites, animated stills, and extremely complex music videos with running narratives that cross from Facebook over to YouTube and back again. As of September 2013, a selection of my images were on display in New York City at the See.Me Exhibition gallery. My radio internet shows are currently reaching 10,000 listeners each month on the podcasts with no upper bound. After nearly two decades of programming and a three year output of mash-up artwork spanning ~5000 images, 40 songs and videos, and 64 radio shows, I enjoy work that allows me to leverage the breadth of my talents and contribute comprehensively to projects in order to help drive them to success, whether it’s application design and implementation, analysis and reporting, graphic design and collateral, or multimedia content development.
