I have moved around a bit in my life, here is my bio based on where I
lived at the time:

Oklahoma (ages
0-7)
Well that sums up those days, I was born and started growing.
Ohio (ages 7-9)
This is when I began catching frogs and other creatures. I remember asking
my Mom before we moved to Ohio if they spoke English there (I was
worried).
California (ages
9-12)
Went swimming a lot. Got into a couple of fights. I began to realize girls
weren’t so creepy after all. This is also when I started drawing. I
remember I had a shirt with a cool cobra on it. I drew that cobra over and
over and over again.
Virginia (ages
12-16)
Yep, girls were cool. Unfortunately, I wasn’t. This was when I began
reading cool books from the fantasy aisle of book stores. My drawing
started to get better. My parents got me a cool colored pencil set.
Florida (ages
16-18)
Mad at parents for moving again. Girls still cool. Drawing started to
reach an apex.
Utah (age 18)
Began school at Brigham Young University. I considered majoring in an art
field. I quickly realized (as I was applying for the graphic design
school) that I really did not enjoy drawing things that I "had" to draw.
As a result, my application was poorly done and I was not accepted into
the major. But was invited to "try again next semester". This was a
turning point for me, as I didn’t want to be a starving artist, stuck
drawing stuff I didn’t want to draw. I decided to pick a different major.
But I wouldn't have to worry about that for two years.
Colorado (ages
19-21)
Served a mission for the church. This is when I learned Spanish. Yes, I
was one of those missionaries who wears a suit and tie and rides a bike
and knocks on doors and teaches people. It was a great experience.
Utah (ages 21- 27)
Finished school at Brigham Young University. I met and married my
wonderful wife Emily (girls still cool). Got two degrees, BS in Accounting
and Masters of Information Systems Management.
Virginia
(27-today)
Began work as an IT Auditor. Worked for PicewaterhouseCoopers for 3 years
and currently work for S.W.I.F.T. (Belgium-based bank messaging company).
I work in the Virginia office. I have 3 great kids, 1 boy and 2 girls. By
this time I hadn’t seriously drawn for many years. In November of 2008 I
discovered that one can actually draw on the computer. I began playing
around with GIMP. Then I found this wonderful place called Santharia, and
it has been all fun and games ever since. Thanks, everyone. This has been
such a fun experience.
