Welcome to my website.

When I was a kid, I remember drawing. I drew everything from baseball players, cars, robots and superheros. I enjoyed taking a blank paper and creating an image that came to life. Art became more than a hobby, it became my career.

I remember playing video games when I was young. I would spend countless hours playing games with my friends. Pac-man, Defender, Astroids and Beserk. Now that I'm older I still play games. It's great to relax and play a game on the computer, Xbox or PS3.

To take my favorite joys in life and bring them together creates a wonderful profession. Here's my portfolio. I hope you enjoy what I've done. Thanks.
