I was born in Toledo, Ohio, and have spent the majority of my life in Bellevue, Washington. I attend the Minneapolis College of Art and Design...and I'm studying comic art. I've been working on a graphic novel called "In Like A Lion", that's been percolating since middle school, but I've only really pulled it all together as a concept in the past year, and actually began writing and drawing a little of it, but who knows when I'll get around to doing it with all my schoolwork and whatnot. I enjoy reading comics, especially DC/Vertigo, indies and shoujo manga. My favorite titles of the moment are Trials of Shazam!, American Virgin, and Exterminators. I enjoy listening to comics podcasts such as Raging Bullets, Birds of Geek, Phantom Power, Crankcast, Q!PAW, Geek Syndicate, Comic Geekos, CGS, Indie Spinner Rack, and Comic Timing. I have no life. =)
