I’m an Ohio native who planned to be an architect or a furniture designer, but instead discovered footwear design and ended up spending over 20 years in the business. I’ve been a designer, design director, and brand creator for some of the most iconic and innovative brands in the industry. I believe that design is about people and process: If you have the right people and the right process, you will end up with a great product. I’m always happy to talk about running (LA Marathon 2016), travel, art, outdoor sports, pottery, family, and coffee, in no particular order.
