I was born a long time ago in Omaha, Nebraska. When I was old enough I attended Benson High School, just like everybody else in my family. Did you know that three Heisman Trophy winners are from Omaha, one of them from Benson High? I didn't think so. I received both of my art degrees at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 34 years apart. In those years in-between I lived in Seattle for a while and also did a lot of graphic design. I presently live in Lincoln with my wife and our teen.
