Graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago Illinois (class of 1994) with a major in illustration.
Martial Arts background :
I'm a master instructor ( 5th degree blackbelt) in Tang-soo do as well as an MMA instructor.
My philosophy:
I guess this is where I get up on my soapbox and preach...I'm kidding. I have a unique way of looking
at the things in the world around me (and some people might even go so far as to say "strange"...but who's
really keeping track anyways). I try...and the key word is TRY...to bring balance to the environment around me. So I guess
my true "calling" is my ability to create artwork. But if it wasn't for my martial arts background to help balance my "rather
complex" inner being. I probably would have self-destructed from the inside out a long time ago like other artists you
read about in art history class.
Pro-Star creators Joe Brignoli and John Graden
Joining Pro-Star MMA has given me the opportunity to train with some of the best martial artists in the U.S. and
Canada.
