Summary

Being at Nassal, I've spend hundreds of hours working on bodyshop techniques and understanding fiberglass. I feel I've contributed significantly to project quality. My start at BarnyardFX taught me creative direction, prop making, and model making skills, showing me that I can handle meticulous attention to detail and keep patient with long drawn out projects. Ever growing but adept material knowledge and base of starting in special effects. Always looking for my next project to put myself into.
