About Me

Download my resume.

I am a 3D artist and manager by trade. My main goal in this industry is to create and drive artwork that has the ability to inspire. If I can create or contribute to something that makes someone stop and reflect, or even better, puts a smile on their face, then I know that I've done my job as both a developer and an artist.
