I realized my cartooning talent at about nine years old, experimenting in art classes and for friends. In time I worked for local businesses and newspapers in my hometown. Though I went to college for an Art Education Degree, I eventually made the big jump as full time artist in 1989. My first business was called Trask Design and I mostly drew caricatures on the street & at fairs.

           Today I run my own graphic design company, teach cartooning for schools & recreation departments, plus still do some caricature work for parties & conventions. I live with my beautiful wife, Stephanie, and two wonderful children, Jasmine & Skye, in Vermont.
