I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I attended Cleveland School of the Arts majoring in Music. I have played in several orchestra's including the Cleveland Music School Settlement Orchestra, Contemporary Youth Orchestra and P.A.N.D.

While attending High School, I began my career as a Environment Artist. I started out making Logo's and Web sites for my mom. Then moved on to making web sites for Small Business Professionals. I was completely self taught.

In the 10th grade, I learned about jobs in the Entertainment Industry, working on Films and Games. It sparked my interest in 3D and I looked for schools that could teach me these skills.

Another program I attended in High School was called Post Secondary Options Program. It allowed my to take College Courses while still in High School. I attended Cuyahoga Community College from 2003 to my High Graduation in 2005. I graduated in the Top 10 and was selected to join the National Honors Society.

After High School, I moved down to Orlando and began studying Computer Animation. I've recently graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Animation from Full Sail University.
