DOB:
11/2/74

Base of Operations:
Springfield, IL (by way of Latrobe, PA)

Marital Status:
Happily married (aka I'm one lucky SOB)

I was born and raised in the town (now a "city") of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, mostly known for housing the brewery of the beer, Rolling Rock, birthplace of Mr. Rogers, Arnold Palmer and the banana split as well as (arguably) the birthplace of professional football.

I've always had an affinity for art, comic books and music. I still do, as evidenced by the contents of this site. I attended school in Latrobe from K-12 and then moved on to the Art Institute Pittsburgh, where I studied Commercial Design briefly.

After floating about in southwestern PA for nearly three decades, I met the love of my life.
Shortly thereafter, I followed her to central Illinois, where we now reside happily together as husband and wife with our two pets; a Pug named Pumba, and our cat Sophie. We are both enamored with Pugs, and highly recommend them if yours is a loving household. Please check out the links page for more information about Pug Rescue if you are interested.

I'm currently working as a freelance digital colorist/ illustratror for independent comic book publishers and small press music labels. I am continually developing an illustration portfolio in the hopes of landing steady work in the entertainment industry.

Please contact me if you'd like to collaborate!
