Billy grew up in the self-proclaimed pumpkin capital of the world, Morton, Illinois. Untold generations ago, his great ancestors helped found this land and started a pottering company which has lived in infamy through its high school sports team, the Morton Potters. With such high expectations, Billy started playing video games like Pac Man and Mega Man 2 day in and day out. Drawing anything and attending Art Institutes filled his spare time while watching the Cubs lose again and again. Etc, etc. Finally, after 30 years, a marriage, and a terrifying journey to Malaysia, he landed a position in Maryland where he now resides, and still plays Mega Man 2 and Pac Man (and over 400 other games…) day in and day out.
