Born and raised in a southern Minnesota village of about 300 people, I had alot of time on my hands so I took interest in drawing and illustrating. I gathered inspiration from cartoons, video games and wildlife which still holds true today. In sixth grade I went to a career fair and a local advertising agency owner (now my boss) was speaking and presented the creative process of developing a logo design. I knew that day what I wanted to make a career out of. After graduating from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I received a job at a local design agency and worked my way up to Associate Art Director.
