Born in the state of Michigan, raised in the state of Alaska and constantly in the state of confusion, cartooning has been a part of Chad Carpenter his entire life. As a young child, when normal kids were playing video games, watching TV or talking on the phone, Chad could be found scribbling on anything that didn`t move (and a few things that did). This same geeky, antisocial behaviour lasted well into young adulthood, when Chad decided to seek out a career as a cartoonist. Chad's quest to avoid a real job was successful. Chad currently lives with his wife, Karen, and three kids in the picturesque Matanuska Valley in Alaska.
