Born and raised in Jackson, I started drawing as soon as I could hold a crayon. Growing up, I excelled in art, which led to a scholarship to Belhaven University. I studied Fine Art for a year, but decided to pursue my other love—skateboarding. Through skateboarding, I discovered graphic design and returned to school where I got a graphic design degree from Antonelli College. After that, I started out as a graphic designer, but quickly turned my attention to the web. I have spent the majority of my career working as a hybrid design and developer.
