I was born and raised here in Omaha Nebraska on January 1^st 1973.  When I was a young boy my father was great at drawing and painting things and I wanted to be like him.  That is where I got my love for the arts. From there you would always see me doodling or drawing all throughout school until I graduated.  I went to Dana College for Art Design and later Universal Technical Institute for Graphic Art.  

For a long while I did the typical logo designs and album covers and honed my skills as a digital painter. It was new and not done a lot, especially in the midwest.  Unfortunately, there wasn’t a market for it either, while living in Omaha.  So for a longtime after drawing for 10 years I gave it up as a career and needed to get jobs that pay the bills.  Like everyone else, sometimes you have to pivot and do what you need to pay the bills.
