Raised in a small town, before the birth of the internet, imagination was everything. Visual art quickly became his first passion. However, this all changed after reading The Hobbit. The world of J.R.R. Tolkien quickly became the kindling of a lifelong relationship with fantasy.
Other greats from the world of fantasy such as C.S. Lewis and Hayao Miyazaki, offered further insight into said genre. Amidst such immersion, interest in Nordic and Greek mythology led to a brief pursuit of historical academics. With a well-rounded understanding of myth, lore and all things fantasy, the beginnings of his own world began to take shape.
