I Turned My Family's Fun And Adventures Into 17 Comics In My "Fireflies" Series

The Fireflies family lives in Eastern North America, around the Carolinas, a setting that offers opportunities for diverse storylines involving mountains, beaches, history, and plenty of shenanigans. Many of the ideas for the comics come from my own family’s everyday life, bringing authenticity and warmth to each story.

My desire for this comic stemmed from a wish to provide clean, engaging reading material for my children. Over time, I noticed that much of what is published today emphasizes family arguments and conflict. In response, I wanted to depict a healthy 90s-style family dynamic, with friendships that still encounter their share of mischief and adventure.

I love playing guitar, writing music, reading comics, drawing, and developing software. Some of my biggest comic influences are Charles Schulz, Bill Watterson, Will Henry, and Tauhid Bondia.
