I was a jokester in church at a young age. I'd even make my parents laugh probably when it wasn't the best time to laugh. And all this was done without saying a word, and a pencil was my tool of choice. Since then, I've used my illustrations and designs to adorn toy packaging, trade show banners, magazines, and even for toy designs themselves. I illustrated the Young Women's Medallion for the LDS Church, as well as designed the U.S. Team rings for the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympic Games. I was to be a daily cartoonist for a local newspaper, a childhood dream, until the paper folded 2 days before my debut... not a real highlight in my career. I have 3 beautiful and very talented young children, and I've been married to my sweetheart for 15 years.
