Born in Brooklyn, I always took to drawing and music since I was very young. I graduated from the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of
Music & Art and Performing Arts with a Regents diploma with honors. I then went for my undergraduate degree at The School of Visual Arts in New York City. Currently, I reside in West Orange, New Jersey near a woodsy nature reserve and winding hills where I can view the Manhattan skyline at a distance.
Later in my career, I delved into retouching, working on covers and interior page imagery for New York Magazine, Food Network, HGTV, Prevention, Star, and Men's Fitness to name a few. I also have gained experience with book projects and e-commerce.
