With a background in illustration, I am always eager to achieve new distinctions as an artist. Perhaps even more important is my commitment to providing the best visual solutions for my distinguished clients and the clearest instruction for my students.

Since 2009 I have been designing storyboards for History Channel (Vikings), WWE (Wrestlemania), Cartoon Network (Ben 10: Omniverse), Pepsi, Sports Illustrated, Indeed.com, Starz, Florida Hospital, HBO, Shriners Hospitals for Children, and others.

Perhaps you've seen some of the commercials I worked on. Probably a better chance you've seen one of the Disney Animated feature Films where I was a character animator! Guess which films?

I started drawing seriously at the kitchen table when I was home sick from school. I asked my mom to draw me, Batman and Robin, since I was obsessed with the Adam West reruns. She sketched them on a napkin, amazing me. When I asked her to draw another one, she replied something like "I have to finish cooking dinner, why don't you try it now?" I did many drawings of Batman and even stapled my own comic book creations together.

Many years passed and I ran out of napkins. I went to Art School in NYC, and struggled to get printed - but I did indeed get printed. It sounds glamorous, right?

Not exactly. Making a living as an artist is almost as tricky as learning to paint in watercolor. But I did have some amazing experiences and worked for some prestigious clients through the years. Somehow, I made my way around until life brought me back to NY.

I seem to get along with everyone, especially kids - probably because despite all my experience, I am still a kid inside. Plus, it's fun to teach all ages while delivering my latest workload to industry clients anywhere.

I hope you can join me in my next class!
