In his own words
'My skills were shaped at The Art Institute of New York City. The classes have given me most of the tools I use in my job now. My teachers, Ira Epstein & Wonil Suh, were the most influential, but everyone was approachable and understanding of my full-time work schedule. I felt the support from the school. I appreciate that the instructors are in the field, and know what’s going on in the industry.'
