What I Believe:

I believe no success is worth losing your integrity. I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing right. I believe that without 100% satisfied customers our business and promises mean nothing. I believe that our team cannot say we’re finished until we can confidently say we’ve done our level best. I believe that trust is created with honesty, experience, and expertise, always in that order. I believe that value is in the eyes of the beholder and cannot be expressed in words.

How I Desire To Help:

Stephen Covey once said, “successful people begin with the end in mind.” My goal is to live my life helping others achieve their goals. At Glide, it’s no different for both myself and my entire team. We bring fresh renewed vigor and passion to each and every project, approaching problems from both strategic (high level) and tactical (on the ground) perspective. Our ULTIMATE goal in our work is to create results that meet, and hopefully exceed, our clients expectations.

Background:

Since I was young, I have had a passion for creativity. I received my BA in Architecture at Texas A&M while also running for the A&M track team. I started my career as a graphic designer out of college for EverydayWealth, a financial internet start-up in 2001. In 2002, I moved to Oregon to start Pixona, an online real-time video communications company. Eventually I moved back to Texas and started Glide Design in 2003. As a side-note, I’m also a “full-time” volunteer youth pastor for my church and worship leader, approaching 10 years in ministry. And I must mention that I cherish my amazingly creative and talented wife, Kristen, and my sweet daughter Penelope, who are both a continual source of inspiration and love.
