This video was created for a display within a Mercer booth at the NEHRA conference.
The premise was that this video would be playing on a loop within the booth with music that wouldn't be too distracting when played at a low volume.

Family man
An amazing wife
2 little dudes
and our loveable Shih tzu
I coach my kids’ sports teams, challenge them to around the world, games of Fisher Price hoop horse and wrestling matches.
Watch them come up with some of the funniest things, accomplish what I never knew they had in them or push them to be thoughtful and to never give up on themselves.
I love exploring new technology and am diving into AI as much as I can. As a designer, I always trying to learn new skills and stay current. Having a basic grasp of AI is table stakes to me at this point.
In sports, I'm called a student of the game.
That's the type of guy you're getting if you work with me, I've got a constant curiosity about current technology and design practices or techniques.
