I am an American author, illustrator, and creator of the syndicated comic strip, "The Norm."

I graduated with a degree in film, then worked in film, newspaper journalism, feature film special effects, and accidentally taught comics and animation at Savannah College of Art and Design.

My animation studio did work with corporate clients using characters to educate and entertain. "The Norm" was syndicated daily to newspapers by King Features Syndicate and is now on the GoComics website. I am currently art directing books for APub.com in Seattle while ghostwriting and writing before my bedtime.


My eBooks are available on Amazon Kindle and Apple Books:
