In the summer of 2017, I returned to college after many years to pursue a second degree. In May of 2020, I graduated from Bradley University with a Bachelor of Science in Art/Graphic Design and a minor in Social Media Marketing.
I did not expect when returning to college to study graphic design just how much experience I would gain in other mediums. I was even honored as the Department of Art and Design’s “Outstanding Printmaking Student” for the 2018-2019 academic year. I will be forever grateful for this “do-over” and have been working steadily in several part-time marketing and graphic design positions since graduating amidst the global pandemic in May, 2020.
I live in Dunlap, Illinois with my wife Jenny and our team of cats. You can often find me using my first degree (Theatre) by directing large scale theatrical productions around Central Illinois and supporting local arts organizations.
