WHO’S A GOOD BOY?!?

I’m trying! Father of three, lucky husband, and world-renowned dog whisperer. I cook. I clean. I’m a Brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt. And while I love all those parts of my life, I still need to make a living, right? My work with dogs is always pro bono, yet not tax deductible.

So a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I harnessed the force, vanquished the dark side, and began freelancing my talents as a graphic artist and commercial illustrator. All without Yoda for guidance or R2-D2 for administrative support. Eat your heart out, Mark Hamill.
