I guess I'll go backwards here. 

Before I went out on my own I was the art director at a small marketing/advertising agency called Fitzmaurice Lewis & Partners. They closed in February 2004 and that's when I started freelancing full time. I worked at FL&P for about seven and a half years. We were essentially a new product development shop for Brown & Williiamson Tobacco. The experence I gained at FL&P was enormous. We took products and developed every aspect from packaging to point of sale to marketing.

From about 1994 to 1996 I worked as a designer for a small design shop called Embrey+Laun Creative Services. We published a monthly Presbyterian magazine, technical manuals for food industry equipment and ads.

In 1993, I pretty much bummed around in Atlanta. I was about 26 at the time and decided I needed a break from Louisville. I worked for Oxford Books (ask me about the time I met Courtney Love) and as a production artist for that company that produces the Apartment Blue Book.

Past that the dates are fuzzy, but I worked for the Presbyterian Publishing Corporation, at the Kentucky Standard (the newspaper in my hometown, Bardstown) and at B. Deemer Gallery on Frankfort Ave. That was my first job out of college. Selling art and framing pictures. During summer while in college I was the staff photographer for The Stephen Foster Story.

The common thread here is that I've been in some sort of creative field my entire working life.
