Hello! My name is Brian K. McDaniel, founder, president, janitor but mostly designer at bkmacdaddy designs. I’m a completely self-taught, always learning, wildly freelance graphic and web designer these days.

In the past I have made a living being a vocalist and keyboardist for nightclub bands in Hawaii and San Francisco, with opening gigs for The Cult and The Spin Doctors as high points. After that I spent 10 years as an ordained Southern Baptist Worship Pastor, but walked away from organized religion to return to my passion for creativity, design, great music and freedom.

These days I spend every waking hour creating and learning and loving my wife of 20 years and my 3 kids. Yes, I know I don’t look that old and I love it! My secret: avoid exercise, long walks, and any food that is so healthy it tastes bad. Instead I embrace life to the fullest extent, drink and eat whatever tastes best and involves an experience, and challenge the status quo with every breath. You should try it if you’re not already!

So those are the things I do, but I learned a long time ago not to be defined by what I do. Really, who I am is: a husband, a father, a friend, a creative being who is passionately pursuing the best that life has to offer with everything in me. Won’t you join me?
