About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I'm from Massachusetts... living in Hollywood since 2003, after a year in beautiful Arizona.... I work in visual effects. That occupies about 95% of my life outside of sleeping. I love effects, and I love movies. I like living in L.A. for now, but I don't know if I want to settle down here for the rest of my life. My career keeps me here pretty much.
I love to sculpt, draw, and generally get away from the computer whenever possible.
I love New England, especially during the fall, and after a fresh snow storm. I love the Arizona storm season in Tucson and Sedona (August)... monster thunderstorms every afternoon followed by the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine.
