After reading The Hobbit sometime around the sixth grade, I was hooked. From that point on, my humble efforts at picture making
(I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember) have been inspired by a love for all things fantasy. After graduating with a BFA in illustration
from Parsons School of Design in 1999, I’ve managed to turn this fascination into a career, working for book publishers and gaming companies,
such as Wizards of the Coast, Upper Deck, Tor Books and Duirwaigh Gallery.  My work can be seen in multiple
Spectrum Annuals, and I’ve had the pleasure of being nominated for a Chesley Award or two.

Currently, I live in New Jersey, just across the river from Philadelphia with my wife, Gina (who is also an artist) and two cats,  Georgie and Gidget.
