My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)

My father was a minister when I was a child and looking back it seems like I was born a believer. Regardless, I made sure of it in kindergarten or first grade (not sure exactly) by officially accepting Jesus Christ with the guidance of a Sunday school teacher.


Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)

I would love to one day have the time and resources to work on a graphic novel set in the End Times. 3/4 written and limited character thumbnails sitting in a variety of sketchbooks. Right now I have to concentrate on supporting my family ...


Favorite Comic Creators:

Steve Ditko (early Spiderman work), Johnny Romita Sr. (early Spiderman), Jack Kirby (just about anything and everything he produced), Winsor McCay, Charles Schultz (I own an original daily that he traded to me for one of my early cartooning gigs in the mod 1980s!), Milton Caniff, Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes) as well as many others.
