He earned a bachelor's degree in film and video from Columbia College Chicago (1998) and art education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2005). In 2013, he graduated with an MFA in Visual Art from Marywood University focusing on drawing and painting in both traditional and in digital formats.
