Currently I am in lovely San Rafael, CA. In the past I have worked as a freelance 3D generalist with experience as an FX consultant in the use of fluid simulations for pyrotechnics, also the co-author of Professional MEL Solutions for Production with Kevin Mannens. Currently working as a member of the Fracture development team and as a mentor at TD College. I am also involved in the development of the Maya FX course for TD College.

Unlike many of my colleagues I started out as a Marine Corps infantryman. Though an enlightening experience in some aspects I knew this would not be my career. Eventually I would find myself becoming quite involved in technology which in time took me down the road to where I am today. A lifetime of varying experiences and professions which has helped me stand out among my peers while pursuing my career goals to work in feature films.
