A professional filmmaker, 3D animator, VFX, and multimedia artist that loves bringing ideas to life. I’ve been doing this ever since the Commodore Amiga 500 and before that with an Atari 800XL. I started shooting my own short films when my uncle gave me his super 8mm film camera. I attended Columbia College of Art in Chicago to study film and illustration. Working three part time jobs to support myself, I eventually ran out of money and joined the Air Force.

There I became a jet engine mechanic working on C-141 Star lifters, after my four years with the AF I was indoctrinated into Hollywood by way of interning at Red Car Music video where I put my skills from Columbia and the film and television program at RCC to good use. I went on to become a freelance PA (production asst.) I was then able to break into the camera dept. As a loader than a 2nd assistant cameraman and doing some first-ing on some low budget films and commercials. During this time I showed some 2D digital artwork to my friend Dave Hopkins who was working with Lightwave 3D and I was hooked, soon after I got a job with him at Gun for Hire films and have been doing this ever since.

In my spare time I served in the US Air Force Reserve for a total of 23 years, 16 of which was as a combat videographer with the 4th Combat Camera squadron, I deployed and documented various military missions world wide even as far as Iraq.

Riverside City College (RCC) is where I call home these days. Creating various images for print, web, 2D & 3D animations, and videos in support of our college administration, faculty and students. I enjoy working at RCC because I am not just creating random pieces of work, I am helping to tell the stories of this 100 year old institution. In 2016 I traveled with the RCC All Stars Marching Band celebrating new years day as they performed and marched down the Champs-Élysées. These days I operate out of the video production studio at RCC.
