I owe a lot to my parents for the talents and ambitions that I have, both of them are extremely talented artists and are/were teachers of their craft. I started out drawing pictures of my favorite cartoon characters, then moved on to comic book super heros and athletes. I knew at a very young age that people were my favorite subject.

I went to college at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. I studied New Media Design, and gained a lot of knowledge in the areas of graphic design, web design, videography and photography. But I also never stopped drawing, and what I learned at RIT helped me push my artwork further, adding elements of graphic design and graffiti to my work.

After graduating from RIT in 2005, I started working at a training company in Rochester called Ardent Learning. At Ardent I do a lot of interface design, animation, and some print layout. I've also gained a lot of experience in working with clients under tight deadlines while at Ardent, something that has taken my professionalism and drive to new levels.

Despite my degree and occupation, I will always find time to draw. I simply love it too much to ever give up.
