Life is a vapor.

Life is a vapor.

I’m a creative at heart—usually juggling a handful of projects for work and fun. My design career technically started in fourth grade, when I traded traced Lamborghinis for baseball cards. Things leveled up in the late ’90s when the web started to take off and I began designing websites for real clients.

For the past few decades, I’ve been obsessed with a few things:
creating products that make people go wow, understanding theology on a deeper level, and being creative in any way possible. That mix has let me craft beautiful things for churches, mom-and-pop shops, A-list movie stars, and all sorts of other wonderful people and organizations.

I’m an expert in branding, visual story telling—and making pour-over coffee.

I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound.

In 2016 and 2019, I co-authored and designed two books with Tim Challies under the Visual Theology banner. Together they’ve reached over 100,000 readers around the world—which still feels surreal for something that started as youth group power point. We even made the ECPA best-seller list! …and still got outsold by multiple coloring books.

My 15 minutes of fame came when Rachel McAdams and Conan O’Brien talked about a website I made for her on The Tonight Show. The traffic immediately crashed the site. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.

These days, I split my time between Visual Theology—a company I co-founded that helps people see and understand biblical truth through design—and serving as the creative director at Soteria Church in West Des Moines.

My faith and love for Jesus sit at the center of everything I do.

I see design as a way to reflect His creativity, clarity, and beauty—showing people truth in a way that’s both understandable and beautiful.

If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.

I’ve been on the web since the mid-’90s, and this site has been evolving in one form or another since the GeoCities days. Now it’s mostly a portfolio—but if you dig though the internet archives, you’ll find a few writings about being a first-time dad, books I’ve read, and my half-witted thoughts on culture and faith.

If you want more frequent updates you're out of luck, but I do post occasionally on Twitter (X) or Instagram.
