I am a picture-book author/illustrator empty-nesting on a small farm in Pennsylvania with my wife Krista, a German shepherd, two barn-cats, ten chickens, four sheep, and two pigs. I have four children: Naomi, Nathan, Will, and Dan.
New in 2022 and 2023 are TURKEY'S VALENTINE SURPRISE and TURKEY'S SANDTASTIC BEACH DAY, my sixth and seventh illustrating collaboration with author Wendi Silvano.
I received my formal art training at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
