Education

Penn State University. Class of ’83. Earned a BFA in Fine Art but also took some design classes. Design Professor Bill Kinser was a profound influence — he taught me that this is hard work, that the smallest details matter. He was tough but also unexpectedly warm and supportive. A desire for more training led me to Portfolio Center in Atlanta, GA which was full of teachers in the vein of Kinser. I came out of that PSU/PC crucible prepared to work.

If you take people off the table (my family), it would be the music I enjoy.
