I chair the graphic design program at Bellevue University. I've been teaching since 2000 with the 2008/2009 academic year marking my fifth year at BU. I am also the president of the AIGA Nebraska chapter board of directors. The graphic design program is in constant flux (as is design)—keeping up with everything is tough.
When not working (which seems like a few hours a week) I spend my time hangin' with my 9 year old son. We are avid fans of Formula One racing (Ferrari!). He also likes to destroy me in just about any XBox 360 game. He's the best and keeps me going.
My passion for design is fueled by just about everything. Lately I find myself reading about and looking at street art (stickers, stencils, and graffiti). I also love old water tanks and cargo storage containers. I don't do much "fine art" since my drawing skills lack skill but I do sketch to keep the fingers and eyes in sync.
You'll find all kinds of music on my very old iPod; everything from jazz (huge Miles Davis fan) to industrial and lots of electronic stuff (DnB, etc.).
