Born in New York City and weened on Marvel Comics. He played hockey for years and had his hockey dreams shattered by a puck to the knee. Hence, marketing and art became his full-time focus. H graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in advertising and marketing design and also attended Pratt Institute.

He started off at MicroWarehouse, the mega reseller of computer hardware and software. This led him to become Adobe's corporate beta tester for Photoshop. Since they were one of the first digital studios that had high-volume work output, beta testing for Apple, QuarkXpress, Scitex and Kodak and many others ensued. While all this was going on, he accidently stepped into becoming a pioneer doing the first digital print runs with printing partner Quad Graphics and Gerber. CTP (computer-to-plate) technology changed everything, it gave true meaning to using Adobe Photoshop, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, etc. in a digital work flow environment. In the following years he started to work on numerous marketing campaigns for many Fortune 500 companies.
