As a graduate in Visual Communications Technology from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Blake was drawn into a love for technology via the biggest passion in his life - graphic design. Blake
came from a very humble start in rural Northwest Ohio to pursue big
city dreams in Chicago, where he currently works as a marketing
coordinator and graphic designer. Blake was also a member of The United States Air Force from 2001 to 2007. In his spare time, Blake can be found doing almost anything geeky - digging on digg.com, fiddling with his iPhone, designing, playing guitar, or scouring the intertubes for the next cool gadget. Blake currently resides in Roscoe Village with his fiancee and Yorky. Blake drives a Volkswagen and is a Virgo, in case you were going to ask.- 135 clout earned
