About Me

I create Visual Effects and Animation for film and the occasional game. I'm almost always sketching, but when I'm not, I'm usually going to concerts, comedy clubs, Movies, plays, art galleries, sculpting, lifting, running, surfing, swimming, biking, hiking, and slowly exploring all that California has to offer; pretty much anything that gets me out of the studio. I was born in Rammstein, Germany, grew up in Albuquerque, NM. Moved to Nor Cal for Art college. learned a lot about animation and illustration, met some amazing artists and made some good friends. Then I graduated and moved down to so cal because i love smog. Right now I'm floating around between different visual effects and game studios here in so cal and up north. So here I am, (not quite sure where that is at the moment) pleasantly surprised with my station in life.
