A born and raised Chicagoan now living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC. My love to travel and explore has brought me to my new home where I spend my time hiking, kayaking and partaking in all things food related with my girlfriend Emily, and our two loving hound dogs. When I’m not practicing my design and marketing skills you can find me on my deck painting with oil and acrylics or rereading my large collection of Kurt Vonnegut novels.
