At an early age my love for video games, comic books and drawing set me on the path of pursuing a career in commercial art. In 2004 I graduated from the Academy of Art University with a bachelor's degree in Illustration. One of my first jobs out of school was for a toy developer, producing art and animation for companies like Hasbro, Mattel and MGA. After that I made a transition into the games industry where I have been creating production and marketing art for over 10 years. I'm currently living in San Ramon, CA with my wife and two beautiful daughters.
