Born and raised in Grand Island, Nebraska. Growing up I've always had a niche for art. I started out sketching cartoon characters as a child. In my youth I had a very fascinating imagination that allowed me to express my artistic abilities in several creative ways. 

        Sports was a big part of my life. I starting playing league soccer at age 5. During my years at Doane College I played collegian football for four years. With athletics I learned a lot about mental discipline and perseverance. I strive to become better physically and mentally on a daily basis. Within my mistakes as an athlete, and a designer, I try to find positive aspects to reflect on. These character traits enabled me to overcome numerous obstacles in life.

        I moved to California to seek opportunities to pursue my career as a designer. I graduated with a Bachelors in Arts with an emphasis in graphic design. After college I moved back home and worked in metal fabrication. I knew I did not want to work in a factory my whole life so I finally made my journey to California.
