I’m a Canadian, born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, on July 16th. I grew up watching He-man and She-ra, Star Trek: TNG, and then went crazy for Star Wars in junior high. My highschool years was when I started drawing manga and watching anime. The first anime series I fell in love with was Fushigi Yuugi and have respected all of Yuu Watase’s work ever since. Some of my other favourite series are Rurouni Kenshin, Saikano, and NANA.
I graduated from Canadore College’s Graphic Design Production in North Bay, ON. In 2005, my early work of “Secrets of Sorcerers” was awarded “Best Comic for Teens” by the International Manga and Anime Festival. The prize money was invested in the production and printing and the Secrets of Sorcerers Volume 1 graphic novel. This past year, the Ontario Arts Council awarded me a grant to aid in the production of Secrets of Sorcerers Volume 2.
