I grew up in Smithtown, New York in the 1970s. Instead of paying attention in school
I drew pictures of my teachers. Then I went
to a famous art college in Rhode Island and studied coloring.
I moved up to the Hudson Valley and then to California and then to New Hampshire and then back to the Hudson Valley. Then I got a job as a professional rock climber. Then I got too old for that.
I still live in the Hudson Valley where I write and illustrate picture books… and drive ambulances.
