I'm looking for a full-time design job. I work hard and I'm passionate about designing and performing at the highest level possible! Please contact me, or see my web site for my resume and PDF portfolio!
Experience
I trained for two years to be an officer in the US Army. Through ROTC and P/R {The National Society of Pershing Rifles} I gained a sense of discipline, invaluable leadership experience, and the ability to perform with military precision in extremely high-stress environments.
I worked for three years as a design intern with the Lockheed Martin Corporation, and for a short stint with the Rutka Weadock Design Studio in Baltimore. In doing so, I've gained an appreciation for corporate, boutique design, and advertising environments. I'm fully qualified to make an impact with any organization that would give me the chance to do so.
I currently work for Serco North America, as a Military Awards Analyst, at US Army Human Resources Command â€" serving our veterans. In this job, I’ve learned to appreciate the importance of detailed research, and putting the customer first.

Passion
I never chose to be a designer, design chose me. When I was 15, I thought I had received a vocation to attend the Catholic Seminary. During that period, I did a lot of soul searching, asking myself a lot of whys and hows. After conferencing with Father Don and my family, it became clear to me that I was not meant to be a priest. What also became clear is my recognition of my ability to communicate and influence others, my strong will to help others and serve a greater purpose in the world, and my passion for expressing myself creatively. It took a while for me accept the fact that I wasn't going to bring about change and serve others through the priesthood, or (following in my father's footsteps) in the officer ranks of the Army... but through the power of my own creativity. But, I have. I truly embrace design and art as my vocation, and that is where the root of my passion and sense of purpose comes from.
