Los Angeles,CA

Summary

With 20 years in Visual Effects, I've had the opportunity to work on the vendor, production, and studio sides, contributing to over 30 films from Pre-Production through Post. My experience from these different vantage points has given me a well-rounded look at what is takes to create top level VFX on everything from giant tentpole films to smaller, more intimate projects. No matter the size of the project or the position I have held, each has brought challenge and reward and a unique learning experience. I look forward to tackling my next adventure with the same level of dedication and excitement.
