Then: my life before Matchstic
I went to Samford University and designed Sunday school curriculum.

Now: my life at Matchstic
I came to work at Matchstic because I fell in love with the people.

Test: lessons in branding 
"The solutions are in the problems." - Stephan Geissbuhler

Read: recommended reading 
Designing Brand Identity: "While brands speak to the mind and heart, brand identity is tangible and appeals to the senses. Brand identity is the visual and verbal expression of a brand. Identity supports, expresses, communicates, synthesizes, and visualizes the brand. You can see it, touch it, hold it, hear it, watch it move." - Alina Wheeler, author

Crush: my favorite brand
Honda - They've made the most reliable cars for so many years that all they have to say when they make a truck is "above all else it's a Honda" and it actually means something.

Trophy: a recent accomplishment
Matchstic submitted some of our identity work to Logo Lounge, an annual publication of the best identities from around the world. Four of our identities were selected for this year's book. Also, Neville Brody was one of the judges, a graphic design legend.

Confession: on working at Matchstic
We all share in the success and failures. We all want to learn and make it better. That's the best and worst part.

Bite: first food that comes to mind when I think of Matchstic
Pizza. Just because we always order it.

Life: my world
Me, my beautiful wife Julie and dog Boo live in Decatur. I play as much soccer as possible and drink as much Belgian beer as my one pair of jeans allow. I listen to whatever my friends listened to last year. And I'm trying to figure out the character I was written to be.
