With the seasonal nature of my job with GoApe! (a treetop adventure course at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis), I have returned to my in-law’s bustling restaurant/catering/venue business to help for the holidays. GoApe! has also asked me to be their go-to for graphic design for the time being as well, which is an amazing…
I’ve been fascinated with a guy named Tim Ferriss for a few years. He’s an entrepreneur and author behind some of my favorite reads, The Four Hour Work Week, The Four Hour Body and The Four Hour Chef. He’s also an expert in learning and frequently refers to what he calls the 80/20 Principle, otherwise…
I have somewhat of an addictive personality. When I get into things, I REALLY dive in. For instance, any time I read a Harry Potter book I’ll start throwing spells into normal conversation, rendering the conversation completely abnormal. If I start to read a blogger with whom I identify, I’ll go through just about everything…
I used to borrow my church’s digital camera back in high school. It was a Sony Mavica that fit about 10-15 pictures on a 3 1/2 inch floppy disc that went into the side of the camera. This camera changed my life. I would fill up the floppy disc, then copy the pictures onto our…
Last week I came across an inexpensive sketch book. I carried it through the store while looking at a few other items, really wondering whether or not I should purchase it. A sketch book is for people who really know how to draw, to create, so I thought maybe I shouldn’t get it. I held…
I started this blog for a few reasons. I wanted to have a place to dump some thoughts, get them written down so I can actually see them, read them and REALLY understand what I’m trying to say. I’ve found that whenever I have an opinion on something, I often contradict myself when I actually…
There are a few things I feel after a workout and a run. First, my body feels great for having pushed through some strenuous activity and emerged victorious! Second, I’m proud of myself for pushing forward to actually work out. Third, I can’t wait to keep being productive in taking care of myself. PMA! Positive…
(edit) I started writing this post when I got back from vacation, ignore mistakes related to time, thanks! –Trying to relive fond memories never works, the easiest thing to do is just make new memories. I had a plan for my vacation last week. I was going to do some longboarding, jump off some cliffs…
While at work on Friday afternoon I could not focus on anything I needed to do. Luckily I spent a few hours the day before finishing up some projects that needed to be done before I left for another splediferous vacation to Burlington, VT and Wells, ME. Allison and I drove up to Bremen, IN,…

Self-portrait. Saturday, June 08, 2013.
A couple years ago I had a photographer roommate, Josh, who told me a joke. I had just made a comment about how great of a camera and equipment he had, I was sure he got great photos just because of his equipment. This is the joke: A photographer was at a party and was…
This post is coming to you from a Facebook post I made earlier asking designers for advice or help on upcoming projects. I’m self-taught on everything I design and there are many times I know I’m missing something because I’ve only ever had my own point of view on a project. I’d like to improve,…
Nobody has ever called me organized. In one of my recent posts I talked about my genuine struggle with A.D.D. and what I’ve done to deal with that in my professional life. In my garage, however, I can be me. That’s why I have a work bench that’s 20 feet long and covered in random…
Yesterday it snowed…a lot. Over 8 inches at the end of March. The silver lining here was at least I got a chance to take some fun pictures with the dogs. Here they are! I had to post this one because of my sweet coat. My dad bought this Eastern Mountain Sports coat in the…
