Basics
I was born in 1965. I drew my first comic strip in the late ’70s. Some of my stories have received significant praise within the comics industry. I graduated with one of the hardest majors from one of the most highly-regarded private colleges in Minnesota. I’ve failed as a graduate student and succeeded in sales. I’ve learned a lot about people through computer programming jobs and political activism. I’ve had my heart broken more than once. I’ve led a colorful, eclectic, and fascinating life. It isn’t over yet either.
I’ve recently started doing a online comic strip called MISFIT’S JOURNEY for Webcomicsnation.com. (Click here to read the first episode, “Mistaken Identity”.) The first several stories will cover my life in Seattle in the late ’80s and early ’90s. This ended up being a very important period of my life, as I learned a lot about such things as academia, progressive politics, romance, dysfunctional families, the sales profession, and the workplace during this time. Old dreams were crushed and replaced by new dreams.

This was a period of time when I was forced by circumstances to reassess myself and what I was all about. In spite of all the turmoil I went through, I was able to maintain my self-esteem and do something I’m sure I’ll be doing for the rest of my life — I reinvented myself for the future.
