I have been with Butler since August 1999, relocating back to my hometown from stints in Arizona and Vermont through the nineties after college in Terre Haute, Indiana, where I studied Graphic Design and Art History. My interests outside of work include painting, playing cello, and wondering how I got so lucky to have such a wonderful family.
