Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:
Graphic design is an art and profession for which I have a passion. Thus, I love comics of all genres, book jacket designing, movie poster art, and album cover art.
My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
I aspire to be the mature Christian Christ demands of me. My spiritual growth is slow, but measurable. Studying the Word with discipline is key to spiritual growth, which I'm learning how to make a high priority in my life above my personal hobbies.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
My draftsman skills are between slim and none. Therefore, my dream job in the comics industry would be publishing! A gig at IDW would be nice. LOL.
Favorite Comic Creators:
Frank King (Walt & Skeezix/Gasoline Alley), Floyd Gottfredson (1930s Mickey Mouse comics), Elzie C. Segar (Popeye), George Herriman (Krazy Kat), Morrie Turner (Wee Pals), Otto Messmer (Felix the Cat), Charles Schulz (Peanuts), Ollie Harrington (Bootsie), Al Capp (Lil Abner), Mort Walker, Seth, Chris Ware

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
