A 3D animator and VFX Artist, I've been doing this ever since the Commodore Amiga 500
and even before that with an Atari 800XL while attending film school at Columbia College of
Art in Chicago. Like everyone else during that time, either you worked three jobs to support
yourself and your education or you had mom and dad pay for it.

   Well I wasn't so lucky on all accounts, so I dropped out of CC after just two years and joined
the Air Force. There I became a jet engine mechanic working on C-141 Star lifters, after my
four year stint with the AF I was indoctrinated into Hollywood by way of interning at Red Car
Music video where I put my skills from Columbia to good use.

   I went on to be a freelance PA (production asst.) I was then able to break into the camera
dept. As a loader than a 2nd ac and doing some firsting on some low budget shoots. During
this time I showed some 2D artwork to a friend of mine who was doing 3D and I was hooked,
soon after I got a job with him and have been doing this ever since.

   In my spare time I am a combat videographer with 4th Combat Camera, where I deploy and
document missions world wide even as far as Iraq.
