Fredo is a recovering Southerner and the son of a preacher man.

His illustrations have appeared in a variety of publications including Nickelodeon, XboX, Bike, The Santa Fe Reporter, Red Herring, Kitchen Sink, The Dallas Observer, The Pitch, New York Press, The Metro, New Times and more. His work has also been featured in the Cartoon Art Museum's Small Press Spotlight and San Francisco's Amaru Gallery.

As a cartoonist, Fredo has produced a series of increasingly innovative and eccentric minis. His current project, Black Sheep, features his most ambitious work yet. The six-part "Neighborhood of the Beast" explores the darker side of suburbia. Other highlights include the Southern Gothic Midnight Creep and his self proclaimed "jam comic from hell" Mantequilla del Pato (with the incomparable Trevor Alixopulos). Fredo has also contributed to a number of anthologies including Legal Action, True Porn, and Modern Fascist Quarterly.

The artist's first foray into the world of alternative comix was Ventura's Wood-Eye mini anthology in the mid-nineties. He was awarded a Xeric Grant for his comic Shpilkes in 2000.

Fredo resides in Oakland. When he's not working you can find him sweating profusely, cycling through the East Bay hills.
