Pavo, GA, USA
I have over 40 years experience as a visual communications specialist in the areas of graphic/website/exhibit design, art direction, outdoor photography and marketing working in a many areas including the shooting sports, financial, manufacturing, music, architecture and fashion industries. I am skilled in the use of Adobe Creative Suite software. I manage and execute medium to large projects, collaborating with other creative professionals to solve complex branding and design problems. My company provides my clients with the highest level of professional service, on time and on budget. I am also available for consultation and outdoor photography shoots.

Along with my partner, Mazie Davis, I am co-founder and co-editor of the online publication about FDSB sanctioned pointing dog field trials called Strideaway. We published Georgia author Bill Allen’s “The Unforgettables and Other True Fables” in 2009. We published “Reflections On Bird Dogs and The Men Who Handled Them” and “The Little Book of Bird Dog Names” (first in a series) in 2018. I designed and produced these books and most products that are available in our store.

Created Youth Field Trial Alliance (a Strideaway project) in 2019, launched a website for the organization in 2020.
