He spent a year working abroad, including six months in Scotland, as part of the British Universities North America Club. He studied Art History and Journalism at the graduate level at the University of New Mexico and Southern Illinois University, respectively.  Always a student of fine art and history, he has a particular interest in applying the rhythms and of the broader culture to his illustration and design projects. Elements of Abstract Expressionism, Dada, Surrealism and German Expressionism routinely find their way into his work, even in illustrations for children's books.

He has served as a graphic designer, illustrator, art director and design director at several newspapers, big and small, including the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Seattle Post Intelligencer.

For the past decade he has focused on art for children's publishing. His various books have been chosen as "Best Books of the Year" by the School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Parent's Choice, the Smithsonian, the Washington Post, New York Public Library and the Chicago Public Library, and his book, Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Jonah Winter was named a NY Times Best Illustrated Choldren's Book.  His paintings have been exhibited at the NY Society of Illustrators, Art Institute of Chicago, California Center for the Arts, Albuquerque Museum, and, as part of the Society of Illustrators educational traveling exhibits, at the Savannah College of Art and Design, BYU, Columbus College of Art and Design and Barton College, among many others.
