Biography

I was born July 11, 1979 in Wilmington, Delaware and grew up in the nearby town of Hockessin. Most of my childhood was spent drawing comic books and playing video games. In high school, I started writing fiction and children's books.

After high school, I enrolled in the University of Delaware's Elementary Teacher Education program. While continuing with my creative interests in drawing and writing, I completed my studies and moved to Boston soon after graduation. After bouncing around in Massachusetts for a while, I moved to Connecticut, where my wife is from, and found a home teaching at the Integrated Day Charter School in a town called Norwich.

My artistic style never really strayed much from those early days of drawing comics and playing video games. Everything I do now is cartoonish and whimsical and looks like it would fit in perfectly in the next Super Mario or Megaman video game. I like to work with odd forms of media like mud and bits of junk I find in my house but more often than not, pen and ink works just fine.
