Born and raised in Los Angeles, I grew up drawing. After high school, I attended Pasadena City College where I decided that art would be my future profession. I met a lot of good friends and instructors during my time there. After that I was accepted into Art Center for Illustration.

I majored in Illustration, but I also took advantage of the industrial design classes offered there as well as the entertainment classes. I graduated in the Summer of 1998 with a BFA in Illustration with honors.

The entertainment industry is where I have been making my living since 1998, working on quite a variety of things in the different fields of the entertainment industry.
