He received a bachelor of design specialising in illustration from The South Australian College of Art and Education,

Children's Book Fair and more recently he was accepted as an exhibitor at the 2021 Florence Biennale, taking out first
prize in the Art section of the Open Call International Art Competition as a result.

"I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is of my dad sitting me down before our
house guests and having me draw them. He was my first art director and that was my first assignment."
