I am a cartoonist, illustrator and graphic designer with over 25 years of professional experience. I have enjoyed being in print since 1979.

I graduated form the Tyler School of Art - Temple University with a BA in Illustration/Graphic Design.

In 1996 I received a grant from the Xeric Foundation to self-publish my comic book “SPUD Comics”

I live in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with my wife and cats.
