When I was a child, my dream job was to grow up and become a cartoonist. To this day I still have ideas and stories locked into my imagination memory bank (and who knows, maybe someday I’ll create a Youtube series, but that’s for another day). I have always had a passion for art, drawing, and expressing my imagination. When I decided to go to college, the first classes I took were Drawing, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. It was then, when learning the tools and skills within the programs that I fell in love with Graphic Design and Graphic Arts.

​

The three things in life that keep me going are my family, travelling, and sports. I am the oldest of eight children, and am proud of every one of my siblings.  I am married to my beautiful wife, Ivalo, whom I met in college while she was studying abroad from her home country, Denmark. We have a son, Lukas, who has given us infinite happiness and surprises us every day. Our family is well traveled, and we will continue to explore the world. Whether it includes hiking to see a view, or experiencing a new city and culture, we’ll go just about anywhere. When it comes to sports, aside from rooting for my teams, I am extremely passionate about statistics and compete daily in fantasy sports with my friends and family.
