Alpine, Texas

I was going to include a bio. It seems to be the thing to do amongst us creative types online. But I couldn’t think of anything really pithy to say so I just decided to include some pertinent facts about myself…

Born in Oklahoma, but never lived there, thank God. Moved around a lot growing up, but have lived in Texas several times and Dallas longer than anywhere else.

Graduated from University of Texas in Austin. Got degrees in Photography & Design and Meso-American Archaeology. Have done all kinds of artistic/creative jobs. Mostly due to a low tolerance for boredom.

Have spent years traveling the world.

I collect rare books and read daily.

Been nominated for a couple of Grammy Awards for album art. I think the whole ‘award show thing’ is pompous and self-serving. Of course, if I won, that would be totally different.

Even though I suffer from horrible motion sickness I'd still like to be an astronaut when I grow up.
