I am originally from Akron Ohio, and while I have lived all over the United States (Oklahoma, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Nevada and Utah) as well as many years in both Iraq and Afghanistan, I am currently settled back in Ohio. After over a decade in the US military, I earned an Associate of Science in game design, an Associate of Science in mobile app design a Certification in web design and a Certification in Java programming all from Stark State College (Canton, OH) and a Bachelor of Fine Art in Illustration with a Minor in game design from Shawnee State University (Portsmouth, OH). My first semester at Shawnee State, one of my professors encouraged me to submit my work into the student art show and so I did. It was accepted which encouraged me to continue my pursuit of art! I really enjoy making digital portrait paintings, but I also like to draw comic book characters which draws from my childhood of reading comics that were drawn by the great Jim Lee! One of the other things that I enjoy drawing are dark and fantastical creatures which I draw a lot of inspiration from growing up playing Final Fantasy (Yoshitaka Amano), Silent Hill (Masahiro Ito) and other games from the horror and fantasy genres. I have been a gamer all my life and joined YouTube as a content creator in mid-2015.
