Inspired by: I've enjoyed drawing since I was very young and it grew from there to enjoying art and design. I like solving problems like the bicycle frame used to set a world record by Michael Secrest that required a 92 tooth front chain ring to designing an off-road bicycle trailer. Solving problems and fixing things is one of the enjoyable aspects of my day job as a Quality Assurance/ Environmental Safety Manager at an Aerospace Coatings firm.
