_Bio
I was born in Cluj, the capital of Transylvania, and I still speak Romanian. Fleeing communism, my parents bravely set out as political refugees to Greece in '89, just before the revolution. We lived in Athens, where our walks in the park were literally through the ancient ruins of the Acropolis. My folks worked hard, saved up and we hopped the pond to the United States in 1990, where we began our new lives in the metropolitan wonder that is Twin Falls, Idaho. We quickly moved up to Seattle and have loved it here ever since. My dad got into games, and I followed. He's been my best art teacher and my mom my encouraging critic.

I'm always looking for an opportunity to learn something new, work with creative people, improve at art and see neat places with my freckly wife Caroline.

Thanks for stopping by!
