I've been drawing since before I can remember...

At an early age I had a growing interest in the modern mythology of pop culture. I loved comics: Batman and Spider-Man, were my favorites. I watched TV shows like Giant Robot, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. I went to the movies as often as I was allowed.

In 1977 when Star Wars premiered, something happened. It dawned on me that this is what I wanted to do. I began to realize that there were people behind all this stuff I was so crazy about.

I started to read comics for the artists, instead of the characters. John Byrne, Michael Golden and George Lucas were my new inspirations. Since then I have had the opportunity to work as a graphic designer, flash animator, and penciler for Marvel Comics' Punisher 2099. I currently work as a concept artist for the video game industry.
