Title: Senior Graphic Designer
How long have you worked at VDG?
6 years.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I have this memory of being a kid in the grocery store with my mom when someone asked me that question, to which I responded “rich.” But I probably wanted to be a midfielder for Manchester United most.
Favorite Hobby:
Watching football/tv/movies with my wife.
Favorite food?
I’d have to say it’s a toss up between french fries, steak, tacos, burgers, bacon and almost anything sweet.
Something you can’t live without?
My wife, family, dogs. Probably smart-assery as well. I can’t help it, it’s genetic.
Secret talent?
I’m really good at trivia. I have a wealth of useless knowledge that brings me no additional wealth.
Interesting factoid?
I’m not all that interesting. I have a fairly extensive collection of single malt scotch. Does that count?
Why do you enjoy working at VDG?
Because it’s a great place to work. We have awesome people that work well together and I like being part of a team that does work we can be proud of.
