I was born and raised in a small river town in South East Minnesota. That's where I discovered my love for art (and bmx riding) at a young age. In High School I was honored with the Herb Hultgren Award for artistic excellence. I then went on to attend Winona State University. I was just finishing up my second year of a Studio Arts degree when I realized that I probably wasn't going to get a job with a degree like that. So, I made the move to the big Twin Cities area. Once here, I attended and graduated with honors from Brown institute. I really found my true passion for art and design while at Brown.

Birthday: March 9th
Family: Youngest of four brothers and one sister
Pets: I have a psycho cat named Kodiak who thinks he is a dog
Hobbies: - Sports!- I love to play them and watch them. Vikings (season ticket holder), Twins (my first game was game 6 of the 1987 World Series), Timberwolves (I was at their first play-off game), Wild (I made it to about 15 games of their first season.
- Music!- There are some weeks that I go to concerts three out of seven days. The best concert had to be Pink Floyd at Cyclone Stadium in Iowa. I usually stick to the Rock and Punk shows. I was also a drummer in a few bands years ago. Maybe you are lucky enough to own a bootleg of the Flaming Buffalo's. If so, I hear they are fetching quite a price on eBAY ; )
