Creative Director and Graphic Designer
Dallas/Fort Worth Area
I am a determined, ambitious and goal-driven professional. I possess a solid background in creative design, sales, marketing, management, and training operations. I embrace change and thrive in a fast paced environment. Multi-tasking is not a challenge but rather an opportunity for me to demonstrate my capabilities, execute tasks, and drive success for internal and external clients alike. My innovative problem solving, management skills and overall professionalism support my reputation as a creative designer. Satisfying customers in my work life puts my head in the clouds. Keeping up with my life as a devoted husband and father of three keeps my feet firmly planted on the ground. I look forward to sharing my talents with you.
