PERSONAL:
In addition to my graphic design skills I co-edited and wrote for an in-house newsletter at Hennepin County, and have several published short stories to my credit. I have expert-level skills in traditional illustration and graphics media as well as the digital media. (I've taught courses in drawing and portraiture). I'm involved in the local Science Fiction Society (Mnstf) and for many years have helped to put on their annual convention; I've also participated, as a performer, with the Renaissance Festival, and in the City-County Chorus for the past four years.
