About me
Born and raised in St. Paul Minnesota, I graduated from Irondale High School in 1990. From there I attended Bemidji State University. My original plan was to obtain my degree in Architectural Model Building. As part of that degree I had to take several courses in Graphic Design. Needless to say I was hooked. I graduated with a degree in Technical Illustration/Graphic Design in 1994. My first job out of school was with Metsys Engineering, located in Eden Prarie, MN. My primary job was Technical Illustration. I also learned multimedia develpment and 3-D modeling. From there I went to Schwing America Inc. where I'm at today. I started out as a Technical Illustrator in their Publications department and then moved on to the Training Department, where I developed interactive multimedia projects and publications for use in training. I have recently been named Publciations Supervisor, where I oversee a team of illustrators responsible for creating and maintaining parts books and assembly manuals. Throughout the years I have worked with many clients on a freelance basis. I enjoy working with entrepreneurs and watching their businesses grow.
