In a nutshell...

I guess I'm a little different. My mom said she named me hoping that I would be a doctor, lawyer or some other high-powered professional suit wearing type. My total inadequacies in mathematics made me choose a slightly different approach to a career path. Let's just say, you know it's bad when you find yourself looking for a major in the course catalog based solely on how many math classes you wouldn't have to take in order to graduate.  

Designer, photographer, musician, long haired hippy and good natured funny life of the party...

My previous portfolio site had this section about me that people loved because it said a lot about me, so I guess I'll throw it back in again here:
