I worked as a designer for the ATP, the international governing body of men's professional tennis, starting in 1993. I held the position of Creative Director starting in 1998.

During my 27 years at the ATP, I have been involved in all aspects of design, including:
• a 500+ page Official Guide to Professional Tennis
• ads for tournament programs
• logo and branding development
• interactive presentations, animations and games.
• design and creation of several full Web sites.

• creation of numerous digital assets for web and social, to promote players and tournaments.

During my tenure at the ATP, I have developed solid management skills. Through a leadership style of nurturing and mentoring, I have lead a team of designers to create some outstanding work and make solid, positive statements that have enhanced the brand and contributed to the growth of the organization.

Teaching Experience

Most of my teaching at that time was in the fine arts field (drawing and painting), but I also taught several graphic design classes, including classes in Quark Xpress at Jacksonville University and Photoshop at the University of North Florida.

HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL

1981-1987

I have six years of experience teaching art and design classes at the high school level in Duval and northern St John’s counties. Thus, I have a combined teaching experience in the field of about 12 years
