Exploring new experiences and honoring the past

My fine arts degree from DePaul University lit the fuse that launched me on a nationwide journey of new experiences. Along the winding path, I’ve acquired valuable skills, built a network of professionals and friends, and made countless wonderful memories. The following photos showcase some of the highlights of my career since 1990.
