Mr Koppa is a graphic artist, born on January 28, 1969, the fifth of six children, in Milwaukee, WI. He spent his youth working in his family's six-aisle, Eastside Milwaukee grocery store. After receiving a B.S. in Art from the University of Wisconsin in 1991, he returned home to help his father manage the grocery store. To this day, Koppa's past meaningful employment in the family grocery has a strong influence on his perception. Since leaving the family store in September 2001, he has adventurously and ambitiously pursued life as an artist.

Mr Koppa is currently employed as a web designer and content editor at CROPP Cooperative in La Farge, Wisconsin. He continues his journey as an artist through collage, printing, bookmaking, musicing, landscaping, parenting, husbanding, websiting and building shit at home and at The Forgotten Works Warehouse in Viroqua, Wisconsin.

Mr Koppa lives on a dead end street in a small town in Wisconsin's driftless region with his wife and two bananas daughters. He enjoys riding his 1984 Moto Guzzi T-5 in seasonable weather to the family's 4-acre wooded hillside in the country where they practice creative land management and keep guinea hens to fight off the flippin' ticks. The family has a cat named Caramel or Milkshake and two pet rabbits the girls named after Pippi Longstocking and Annika Settergren (which is kind of a fun coincidence because Mr Koppa is currently enjoying Swedish pop music on last.fm).

I'm not sure why I wrote this whole thing in the third person, but I sure did. Probably has something to do with that soon-to-be-disco Facebook trend.
