While growing up I was a season pass holder at Six Flags Great America and my family would take almost annual trips to Disney World and Universal Studios. At an early age I found myself not only enamored with being immersed in themed worlds and thrilled & entertained by the rides but also intrigued by how everything worked and was built.

That curiosity continued into adulthood and over the past 20 years working as an art & creative director, I have become increasingly focused on themed marketing and environmental design with a particular passion and skill for diving deep into IPs and fandoms to craft stories, spaces, and experiences that immerse, engage, and entertain guests.

At my core I am a storyteller, a builder, and a creative and technical problem solver who loves challenges and diving into the unknown, leveraging my skill sets and learning new ones to come up with unique concepts and solutions while figuring out how to make them real. 

When I’m not in front of a computer I can be found repairing mopeds or making furniture in my garage, seeing random 90’s bands in concert, wandering a museum, or hanging out with my partner and our dog.
