About 

What do I do?  I get results.  Creative, enigmatic and always thinking out of the box, I strive to be innovative.  Constantly improving my skills, I believe "good enough" isn't.  Yes, yes, time is of the essence with our profession, but as it's been asked; "if you don't have time to do it right the first time, how will you have time to do it right the second time?"  I reside in the San Francisco Bay area, but am not opposed to relocating, so if you're looking for a professional who is knowledgeable, punctual, reliable, diligent and easy to work with, please do not hesitate to contact me so we may further discuss what I can do for you.
