Statement:

I am one of those fortunate individuals who has always enjoyed his job.  Perhaps the best part is that I get to tell stories by taking complex information and repackaging it visually to make it more easily understood by the physician, student, or lay individual. Conceptualizing an approach is often the most creative aspect of being a medical illustrator, but executing that concept resulting in an effective visual is the most rewarding.  I look forward to working together.
