About Me

When I was a teenager a professional illustrator moved to a sleepy Minnesota town near where I lived. My art teacher set up a tour of his home studio. For the first time I realized it was possible to make a living drawing pictures from home. I was hooked!

I started doing some freelance work while I was still in college and I’ve been self-employed ever since. I’ve worked hard to build a reputation for being professional, reliable, and easy to work with.

I’ve worked on hundreds of client projects both as an artist and as a project manager supervising other artists. I’ve helped design toys for Disney and Hasbro; illustrated packaging for Mr. Potato Head, Cocoa Puffs, Gogurt, and Orville Redenbacher; created advertising comps for Coca-Cola, Target, and Best Buy; supervised animation of Mr. Potato Head for the Hasbro website; and designed characters for VeggieTales. I’ve also illustrated over a dozen children’s books and had one of my webcomics voted to the front page of Reddit.

Whenever there is a big trial in the Minneapolis area I am usually there to do courtroom sketching.

I’m married to an amazing wife and have three lovely daughters. We live in a Twin Cities suburb where the cold weather gives us an excuse to drink hot chocolate practically year-round. I’m also a novice carpenter and a recovering film buff.

If you need something drawn, I’m ready to help meet your needs!
