ABOUT ME
I began writing comics in 2012, beginning with my self-published miniseries, Rotten Roots. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the first issue came out in mid-2013, with subsequent issues following. I have been writing ever since, and am constantly looking for new inspirations and concepts to put down on paper.
​
I received a Bachelor's in History and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and a Master's in History from Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. When not writing comics or tabling at a con, my primary occupation is that of a high school social studies teacher (see, it all comes together now).
​
I live in Chicago with my beautiful and patient wife Lauren, my incomparable daughters Thea and Willa, and our pet rock Iggy (the igneous rock).
​
Just kidding. We don't have a pet rock.
