Summary
I love making things. Each project is a new challenge waiting to be solved. That is what drives me to create. I have always been fascinated with movies, TV, and games and have known since an early age that this is what I wanted to do.
I focus mainly on 3D for pre-rendered cinematics and games, but have applied my skills and passion for learning to a wide range of projects including video production, industrial design, Virtual & Mixed Reality development, and model fabrication. This extensive experience has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to fully execute a project and the support that production and development teams need.
My ten years of creating art and managing projects for the US Army has given me a wealth of experience dealing with challenging projects & difficult timelines. My passion and enthusiasm has been a critical element to my team and each project's success.
