It has been many years since I designed packages for some of the largest major household brands in the country owned by P&G, Johnson and Wax and Nerf.

Package design was required to pop. It had to distinguish itself from other brands within seconds. The work I designed was fun and challenging. But competition was cut throat. While working in that industry, you were only as good as your last project. You had to perform at more than your best every day or lose your place in the company.

My distaste for the cutthroat competitiveness of package design for large companies made me start my own company, Total Media Source, Inc. I started helping large and small companies design and market websites while developing their brands.

At this time, I also started teaching courses in PhotShop, Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver at the University of Cincinnati It soon turned out that I was so good at teaching that I had developed a 4 year program for the University of Cincinnati Evening College

After working at UC for a while, I decided to make the jump into fine arts oil painting. Oil painting is my life-long dream, I had always painted but I wanted to make it my primary focus.

However, since shifting my focus to oil painting, I’ve found myself in a terrible economic time, and have had to rely on my past experiences to make ends meet.

This field of painting is a huge struggle every day. My hope is that someday, I will be able to contribute to the large body of accomplished painters that make all of our lives better. I guess all I want is to leave a legacy.

I hope that we can all be greater in whatever passion we pursue in life and obtain the peace of accomplishment as we add to the great world of life here on Earth.
