07

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 Spiderman, 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 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, concept artist, flash animator and have been a penciler for several comic book companies including Marvel Comics.

I'm now looking forward to bringing my talent and experience into the video game industry. I find it to be a new and exciting frontier that perfectly blends the great visuals and characters of comics and movies into one amazing interactive experience.
