ABOUT ME

When I was a kid, I knew that I wanted to write and illustrate books when I grew up. 

 

As I became a teenager, I tried out life as a rock singer and an actor. 

In college, I was sure that I was going to end up as an English professor. 

After graduating college, I had a bunch of temporary jobs sitting at desks in offices. 

I almost made it as an elementary school teacher (too many kids at once), and had a little more success as a private tutor (one kid at a time is just right).

 

About a year and a half ago, I turned down all of the noise and started writing my first picture book. 

 

I had finally grown up.
