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 鈥淲eb Designer鈥� 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.
