Kirk is an up-and-coming comic book artist who moved from midwestern Indiana all the way to San Diego, California in order to pursue his career. He earned his fine arts degree in college and, ever since then, has been passionate about his art. Because he can never guarantee getting published, he also works as a manager at a local café and does odd jobs on the side. Despite being rather clumsy and having a stutter, the odd jobs thing has made him quite the handyman.

He has ADHD and can therefore be quite the energizer bunny. He's infamous for having multiple projects at once and never quite finishing them. A lot of his early days in high school and college were spent pining over his crushes; he's a bit shy to come on to the people he likes. But once he admits his feelings and enters a relationship, Kirk is loyal and prioritizes it.

He also loves drumming. As a child, he was born partially deaf and therefore has to have a cochlear implant. When he first received the implant, his doctor encouraged him to play percussive instruments to learn about sound.
