I have been seriously addicted to Macs as long as I can remember...my first real job was in a High School and I was in charge of a network of 80 (or so) Macs, which included maintenance as well.
From then on, it exploded. I became a production artist at an Ad Agency, where I perfected my Quark, Photoshop and Illustrator skills (and began my love of cool/weird fonts) and handled 20 Macs and networked them.
From there I had a brief stint as a Senior Art Director/Production Artist/Mac technician at a software company and then another Ad Agency found me as a Production Manager/Production Artist/Mac Tech.
After that, my days were spent at first, Bookspan and then subsidiary YesSolutions as a Pre-Press Technician and Book Jacket designer as well as technical consultant.
I decided it was time to get out of the NY rat-race and got myself a nice big house in the country. Moved myself to rural PA and am loving it. Traded my 45 minute commute on LI's biggest parking-lot (ie. Long Island Expressway) to driving country roads and avoiding cows and deer. I have worked for various companies in the Philadelphia area including an auto parts company, a label company, doing graphics and production for two major Philly teams and currently freelancing for a tiny little boxing publication called The Ring...
I am also known in certain circles as the Ooga Booga Man. What is an Ooga Booga you might ask? Well, the idea started back in 2009 and it has developed into a bunch of cute characters (hand-drawn by me) with cute personas. These characters are available on kids' t-shirts (and a few adult t-shirts as well).
In my spare time (which with a wife, 2 kids, and house, is pretty much non-existent) I do Macintosh tech support and consulting, graphic and web design, and print and web production.
