A little girl and her live-in monster learn about what makes them different—and what unites them. This graphic novel is a silly, sweet, and sometimes gross tribute to friendship, and to the wacky world we live in.

He's been publishing comics on the internet since 2006 with his single panel comic The Book of Biff, followed by his multi-panel strip Maximumble. He was the co-writer and artist for Unshelved at the end of it's run which led to co-creating the similarly themed Library Comic.

He lives in Michigan with his wife, two children, and a small worm in the back of his skull that whispers comic ideas to him.
