I've been a filmmaker, both amateur and professional, since 1980. As a child, my friends and I messed with visual effects using a super 8 camera, creating several experimental and short films. In the 90s, we made several short films on video (see above). Currently, I'm part of the crew of Timewarp Films , an independent film company located in Maryland. I serve as the Visual Effects Supervisor, and will shortly take on Cinematography and Editing as well.

I have a blog called Tales from the Cellar where I discuss various topics related to filmmaking. Check it out.

I also have an amateur project on the back burner. Some friends and I filmed a quirky sci-fi parody that still needs to be completed. It's called Monster Planet ;it's sure to be in instant classic. lol. Here's the trailer:

Here are some FX shots I've worked on, as well as some other photos

Favorite quotes

The perfect man employs his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing; it refuses nothing. It receives, but does not keep.
--Chuang Tzu

[A] truly human-hearted person is [someone] with a slight touch of rascality, just as one has to have salt in a stew.
--Alan Watts

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
--Dr. Seuss
