Career:
I've spent the better part of my adult life pursuing a career as an Illustrator and Designer. I've attended two art colleges: one in New Jersey. the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Arts in (1985), where I learned the core of my craft and the other in Chicago (2001), where I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Computer Animation.
I've had a fairly successful 20-year career as a cartoonist and illustrator but would like to now advance on to something a little larger. My hope is to work in video game development, feature films or television as a pre-production designer, character designer or animator.
Personal:
I was born in the heartland of Nowhere USA during the chaos of the early sixties.
I lived an unremarkable childhood in a middle class family on the fringes of Suburbia.
I have an interest in history -- especially eighteenth century American history.
I enjoy many forms of music ranging from 1920s pre-ww2 Big band to what is referred to as New Age or Electronica ive also been developing a respectable collection of video game soundtracks.
I've been playing a table top strategy game called Warhammer 40K for about 5 years.
I am married to a wonderful and gracious woman named Jennifer. We are the proud parents of four spoiled-rotten cats.
We all presently live in Greenwood Indiana. 10/09
