Born and raised in Metro Detroit, I grew up exploring on my bike, watching Saturday morning cartoons, and getting lost in comic books. Inspired by artists like Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane, I began drawing at an early age and continued developing my artistic talents into my teenage years.

Choosing to pursue a passion for design led me to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, where I spent four years refining my craft before graduating with a BFA in Product Design in 2006. Nearly two decades later, that same passion drives me to help businesses and individuals succeed through design.

Outside of work, I enjoy watching sports, collecting anything Batman, sharing a good laugh, running our family nonprofit in memory of our first son Jude, and spending time with my wife, Stephanie, our son, Theo, and our two dogs, Rigby and Auggie.
