About
"What's in a Name...?"

History
I have been creating artwork ever since I was a young boy in elementary school. I was always so fascinated with superheroes and comic books. I also had a very keen interest in the Japanese language and culture, so my family and I would always go to the annual St. Louis Japanese Festival. There I had the opportunity to meet numerous staff and performers from Japan and experience Japanese food and culture. It wasn’t long before I became enamored with anime and manga, including such titles as “Sailor Moon” and “Rurouni Kenshin." Following this, I soon began studying the Japanese language in my junior year in high school, hoping that I would one day be able to move to Japan and produce my own manga.

Achievements
Thanks to much effort and support, I published my first short manga series, “Blue Crisis Love” in 2016 and in addition to working full-time, I have continued juggling multiple new ideas along with working on my shoujo manga passion project "Love or Duty."

It has been a long road, filled with hardships as well as many fun memories. I hope that my story inspires all to go after their dreams too!
