Position: Graphic Designer / Production Manager
What are some of your responsibilities? Design and create graphics to promote IAAM. This can take many shapes from a web page design that can become a printed brochure.

How long have you been with IAAM? March 2000

What is your favorite part of IAAM? Variety. I get to deal with so many different aspects from logos to web graphics. I also love that I get to interact with different people, locally and from afar.

What are some exciting things coming up in your area that you would like our members to know about? Presently the IAAM Annual Conference & Trade Show in Anaheim, CA web pages are up on the internet and very lively! We have been working on the layout of these pages for quite a while and it is wonderful to see the graphics come together for the final product. I just finished a new backdrop design that will be part of our pop-up display that we take to conferences. It is a new look that I think people will really enjoy, so look for it at upcoming IAAM events!

How do you hope to add value to the IAAM Members? By creating interest and information through designs that convey our core messages. This year will see many areas of positive change, and my job will be to explain them with a look or set a mood.

Who/What inspires you? Members on different committees/boards inspire me through their enthusiasm and dedication to the association. I also feel that my wife Cindy has been an inspiration in so many ways.

What is something that the members don’t know about you? I have an interest in vinyl recordings and rebuilding turn tables. I love to converse with individuals world-wide who share the same passion for quality music that I do.

Hobbies: Cars…it seems like I have been washing and cleaning them since they had metal bumpers. Computers have fascinated me from playing with my first one. But it is the software that makes so much of what I like doing possible. Reading is another thing I have pursued as a lifelong passion…history, current events, but give me a sci-fi novel any day! I think that comes from having been lucky enough to have had classes with Jack Williamson, often called the “Dean of Science-Fiction.”
