About Me

A New York native turned Bay Area convert, I literally ran for the California-bound flight out of Savannah in 2003 that would kick off my current little venture into animation. Five years in the South left me nearly devoid of a once proud northeastern accent, but to this day I still have all my teeth and continue to harbor a vehement belief that the New Jersey Nets can someday become a meaningful playoff basketball team.

I also keep a blog of drawings, trips, rants, and raves...
