I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My grandfather was a master sculptor, and I grew up surrounded by art, nature, and classic children’s literature. I studied Art, Biology, and Anthropology in college. The scientific background helps me draw convincing creatures.

I've spent most of my life on a farm in Skillman New Jersey. My wife and I have recently moved into a new house, which we share with our tuxedo cat.

Though I have spent over a decade working professionally with computer graphics, design, and multimedia, for my illustration work I prefer to get my fingers dirty with pencil, paint, and ink. I am digitally savvy however, and have no problem working electronically, scanning, photographing, and doing my own design work.
