I am here for Networking

About Me

I'm a designer and builder of visual effects for film. I enjoy working with live-action components like scale models, specialty sets, and custom camera rigs among other things.

I'm currently living in Minneapolis, Minnesota ... a city rich in theatre and music. The film industry has only begun to take root here, so work is scarce. In the meantime, I pay the bills by doing set design and carpentry for several prominent theatres around town.

I'm here for professional Networking Purposes only.

My Interests

Aviation, bartending, beer, bowhunting, camping, disc golf, fishing, guitar, Irish pubs, piano, sailing, science fiction, skiing

I'd like to meet:

Stan Winston
Joe Johnston
Phil Tippet
Dennis Muren
Bryan Singer

Music:

The Crystal Method, Plastikman, Massive Attack, AIR, Paul Oakenfold, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Morcheeba, Underworld, Propellerheads, Sneaker Pimps, Surpreme Beings of Leisure, Moby, Delerium
