About

I was born in Dallas in 1965, and I grew up in Mesquite, Tx. In the early part of my life, I was very sick and most of the time I couldn’t play outside so my loving parents would always buy me books to keep me occupied.

By the time I was about twelve my side of the bedroom looked like a mini library. I can say now that being sick as a child was a great blessing, because if it wasn’t for all those books I read, I don’t think I would have ever been a good artist or writer.

Getting increasingly confident with my art skills, besides drawing people and everyday scenes, I decided to try my hand at making a single panel cartoon in the humorous style of Gary Larson's, The Far Side. Soon after doing several satirical and silly single panels, a fellow student friend name Drew who had seen my cartoon art told the newspaper editor about my work. The editor then approached me and asked me to meet him in his office. And after showing him my cartoons he made me one of the cartoonists for the student newspaper. Later, in 1991 in the Dallas region, I won third place for my single panel cartoons in the Texas intercollegiate Press Association Awards. Later in my time at this community college I also in Mesquite, Tx. In the early part of my life, I was very sick and most of the time I couldn’t play outside so my loving parents would always buy me books to keep me occupied.
