I am the youngest of four boys born to Herbert Amzy Skidgel and Blanca Josephine Carazo. My parents met at Luquillo Beach in Puerto Rico. I was born at Portsmouth Naval Hospital near Virginia Beach. Shortly after I was born, my family moved to Maine, where my dad grew up.
I graduated from Bowdoin College in 1994 and studied Graphic Design at the Rhode Island School of Design. An internship at Kodak's Center for Creative Imaging in 1992 sparked my interest in design. Since then, I've worked at design firms and in-house at software companies.
Allison and I were married on March 22, 2003. We were blessed with our first child, Beatriz Ruby, on September 10, 2004 and our second child, Ava Josephine, on December 27, 2006. In my spare time, I like to work on short films, cook, and travel.
