Welcome
This is a collection of the work that I have produced over the last several years. If you find anything that you like and would like to hire or consult with me, please do not hesitate to give me a call so that we can arrange a meeting. I look forward to working with you.
Briefly
I was born and raised in Jasper, Alabama and currently reside there with my family. I have recently finished the first of my two bachelor's degrees at Trevecca Nazarene University, the first in Information Technology with a minor in General Science and the second in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I recently returned from a 5-month assignment in Germany as a IT missionary at European Nazarene College. I am currently completing freelance work and searching for a job in the web and graphc design industry in Nashville, Tennessee or in other surrounding metropolitan areas.
