About the Author

I've been drawing and writing ever since I could hold a crayon. These days I use dixon ticonderogas, pilot Vs and gelwriters, a ten year old Wacom Tablet and Painter Classic software. I've been collecting comics steadily since I was fifteen, and have just recently been drawn into the world of webcomics. I was raised in Orange Cove, California, a town nestled at the edge of the Sierra foothills, and so far removed from the rest of the world that I was always looking to movies, tv, books and my own imagination as a way of escaping and connecting to a larger world. This isn't to say I had a terrible childhood, it was great, and my parents slaved--my Dad, Robert Sr., worked at a sawmill for over twenty years, until it shut down--to provide for me and my brothers and sisters, and we've all thrived because of their sacrifices. I've always been a dreamer, a storyteller, but somehow the opportunities came and went, and my audience has always been a select group of friends and family. Now, I think I've finally found a way to share my stories and I'm going to do my best to make the most of this opportunity. Thank you to the folks at keenspot and Comic Genesis. Thanks also to Dave and the gang at Heroes comics in Fresno, CA for their years of supporting my comic book addiction and now for helping me get the word out about my own project. I've been living in Fresno, CA for the last four years. I'm between jobs, but occassionally get the odd assignment. I live with my gorgeous, selfless girlfriend Ali and her generous family, and their two dogs Joey and Rosie. Anyway, thank you web community for your interest, and I hope you enjoy the stories I am compelled to tell.
