About Me

I'm an aspiring visual effects and motion graphics artist finishing my senior year at the Art Institute of Colorado. I live in Lakewood, Colorado with my loving girlfriend Amber and my little puppy. Abby is a Jack-Russel terrier and beagle mix. She's a handful but I love her to death! (She takes after her mom.) The three of us are currently live-in caretakers for Amber's grandmother.Currently, I'm working as a video editor and visual effects director with local filmmaker Martin McGuire and YesOuiSi Productions Inc. We're finishing up a new-age documentary short about Operation Walk and their missions to perform complex surgeries on needy patients in impoverished countries . Check out our MySpace Film site for news, clips, and trailers! Click here to visit the YesOuiSi Inc Myspace Film website. (http://www.myspace.com/yesouisiinc)I'm also working on what will be my final project at the Art Institute of Colorado. It's proven to be the most difficult hurdle I've encountered at the Art Institute. The project has taken more than six months to plan and will likely take another six to complete. The Project is entitled "The Affected" and will be a 3 to 5 minute visual effects piece meant to show off everything I know. It's going to be awesome. Keep checking back for updates as I plan to keep a regular blog about the project!_ Hmmm... I've already talked too much, but I just want to add that I plan on making VFX tutorials in the near future and will be posting them here. They will be free and will hopefully be a nice asset to young VFX artists who may not have the funds to go to school or who are in school and just need some extra help.Last but not least, a quick shout-out to give props to pimp-my-profile.com - without them, I would be lost in MySpace...
