He was born in North Dakota and grew up in Asia, Europe and the U.S. After graduating high school in Germany, he started playing semi pro Football and illustrating CD covers for Sony Music in Frankfurt. He later returned to the U.S. to get a BA in computer animation and worked as a CG artist, designer, toy designer, writer, post producer and agency creative.

It went on to air for 5yrs and was nominated for inclusion into the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art; in the highly competitive category of art direction where it went up against commercials with million dollar budgets. He produced a graphic novel adaptation of the movie Pathfinder, released by 20th Century Fox and published by Dark Horse Comics and also participated in an art instillation that was seen by over 200,000 people in one night. Currently, he’s living in LA directing commercials and shooting stills for brands all over the world.
