I was born in the Ottawa Valley and raised in the wilds of Northern Ontario. I now live, work, and draw in London, Ontario with my wife Sok Yee, and our daughters Hera and Freya. My love for science fiction and fantasy grew from comics, starting when my grandfather bought me a Conan the Barbarian comic book. Star Wars, Flash Gordon, and Buck Rogers soon followed, and I have been exploring brave new worlds through my own comics and art ever since.
