I was born and raised in Abilene, Texas.  I remember reading comics as far back as I can, well, remember. As a kid my dad really liked Sgt. Rock and all the other war comics as well as all the Old Marvel and Epic Conan stuff so those were always around.  ElfQuest and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were probably the first comics that I really got into when I got older, around 11 or 12. From there I got into comics in a major way and read everything from X-Men to Animal Man. At that point I decided I wanted to work in comics. Eventually I enrolled at Abilene Christian University and started taking Graphic Design and Art courses. Shortly after that I married my wonderful wife, Stephane, and eventually had an awesome son, James.

Due to having a family I had to leave school and the dream of working in comics behind and get a "real" job. Eventually my wife's job transferred her and it became more economically sound for me to become a stay at home Dad, which I don't regret at all. Not only did I get to spend some great time with my son but it also gave me the opportunity to start pursuing art, most specify comic art, again. After thinking about it for a while I realized that, while I like drawing allot, it has always been just a step to getting to coloring for me. So I started teaching myself to color. Along the way I have gotten to work with some great guys that have really helped me out and I appreciate it more that I can ever tell them (Rico, John, Jim and Moose I especially thank you).

Well that is the story up till now; hopefully it isn't the end for a long time because I really love doing this!
