Biography

Wilder was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and raised in neighboring Chelmsford. His father worked at Hanscom Air Force Base and his mother was a music teacher. He attended the Rhode Island School of Design. He became a background designer for The Simpsons during its 2nd season. He married his wife, Maria, whom he met at the Rhode Island School of Design, in 1995 and has four children: Nathan, Jessica, Jacob and Miranda.

Influences on Artwork

The elementary school in The Simpsons is based on McCarthy Middle School, which was Chelmsford's high school before the construction of Chelmsford High School in 1974. The town hall in the show is based on the Chelmsford Public Library (prior to the recent reconstruction). Many other local businesses and stores in Chelmsford find their way into the background in The Simpsons, including Zesty's Pizza, Skip's Restaurant and the now defunct Skip's Ice Cream and Tony and Ann's Pizza.
