Early life

He was always doodling growing up but didn't become serious about art until he was about 15-16.<ref name=":0" />

He started working on his portfolio and got into ArtCenter College of Design, from where a lot of people working on movies such as Syd Mead came. He stayed there for a couple of years before dropping out as he was getting job offers for tv shows and indie films which was consuming his time and allowed him to grow his skills profesionally. He attributes 80% of the skills he acquired over the years to friends and jobs. In particular at one point he ended up teaching his teacher during a photoshop class.<ref name=":0" />
