After hatching from a dinosaur egg, a schlock movie promoter and his mischievous wife stole me from the fossil park near Dallas, Texas. They raised me along with a few other strays they had gathered from various locales.

Surrounded by films and eccentric characters from my friends and family, I grew into an odd fellow. As a young man, I took a very nontraditional journey of self-discovery. I did a brief stint as a stand-up comedian and even tried incorporating magic into my act because I wanted to be “cool.”

After my misguided attempt at starring on stage, I migrated to the spectacle of professional wrestling, where I endured injuries to body and soul. As I was getting bashed by a steel chair during a battle royale, I had an epiphany. Why not draw cartoons instead?

So, I doodled some independent comics and began a freelance career which led me to Los Angeles, California. It was there that I began an animation career, which spanned a couple of decades. I worked at places like Cartoon Network and created content for DisneyTV and DreamWorks TV.
