Denim. Coffee. Tattoos. Design. These are nouns with two syllables. They also summarize a man with a beard with (a semblance of) a plan who values the gift of fatherhood above all else.

He graduated the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a BFA in Visual Communications at a time when the job title “Web Designer” was an ethereal mystery to our moms and dads. The implications of graphic design upon the digital world captured his fascination; self-teaching code and development, he sought to marry visual communications with a raw and unshaped Internet. Moving to the East Cost at 21 and taking a job as the first web designer for the now defunct Interface Monthly Magazine in Portland, Maine, he had found his calling: the infusion of design Denim.
