After many years of tech work, he followed his heart back to being creative and is now the author/illustrator of over a dozen books, including the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor winning OWL & PENGUIN series, the acclaimed funny poetry collections BEWARE THE DRAGON AND THE NOZZLEOWOCK, A HATFUL OF DRAGONS, THE BUBBLE COLLECTOR, and LORD OF THE BUBBLES, the early reader chapter series BOBO & PUP-PUP, and the graphic-novel-in-rhyme series ZOONI TALES.
