I was born and raised in a small rural town in West Virginia with a passion for art. I was the first person in my family to attend college let alone graduate. Roughly nine years after graduation I realized that I was in a decent paying job for West Virginia, but I was miserable not doing what I loved, creating art. In the Summer of 2019, I decided to take a "leap of faith" by leaving the healthcare field, moved back to my hometown to peruse a lifelong dream of being a cartoon animator.
