His past experience includes working at a Richmond ad agency where he served as the “web guy” and art-directed several successful TV campaigns.

What do you love about your role?

"I can tend to get a little stir-crazy working on large projects for months at a time, so leaning toward a maintenance role suits me well. I enjoy the diversity of jumping from task to task and find it interesting to pick up and move on to the next new request. "
