It's been no surprise to anyone who has known me since I was a kid that I ended up pursuing a career as a professional Graphic Artist. I have been drawing since grade school and it was a primary part of my identity growing up. To the right is a photo of me in my first art class as a sophomore at Bishop Miege High School in Roeland Park, Kansas (1987). This was back when there was no such thing as computer art and everything was traditional, hand drawn or painted.  Little did I know, nor could I have imagined what all would be possible in less than 10 years that would open the doors for a long-lasting career for me as a professional artist.
