He grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and attended and graduated from Marquette University, while taking additional design classes from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD). After moving to New York, he graduated from the Type@Cooper Extended Program, where he honed his skills in type design and lettering.
