After graduating from the Gnomon School of Visual Effects, I did several odd FX jobs trying to get in anywhere I could. I met a very talented photographer named Michael Ellins, and before I knew it I had collaborated on a cover for Time Magazine and a 2nd for Newsweek. The wheels were beginning to roll. After months of sending out reels and countless interviews, I finally finagled my way into a freelance gig at a small startup studio called Motion Theory in Venice Beach, California. I quickly learned that the production world was much different than school, and I quickly learned what people meant by sink or swim. Luckily, I began swimming faster than I ever expected and soon I was a permanent fixture at the studio. Within my two and a half years with Motion Theory the studio took off and I was working with dozens of clients and artists including REM, HP, Reebok, Beck, SciFi Channel, Velvet Revolver and many more. I was also fortunate enough to work with and learn from such amazing artists as Matthew Cullen, John Clark, Mark Kudsi and many others.

Before I knew it I was VFX supervising shoots and leading full music video productions. Although I was living the dream in southern California, I was desperately missing life in a big city. In July of 2005 I accepted a position in Chicago as the director of 3D at Digital Kitchen, and the next chapter of my life began.

Once again I found myself surrounded by another group of absolute talent. My clients at DK included Coke, Target, PBS, McDonald's and many more. In 2008 I decided it was time for a change, and began my freelance career working with companies such as Thornberg & Forester, MK12, Wicked Pixels, Radar, Nike and Vitamin. In the spring of 2010 I began permalancing at Vitamin, and later that year accepted a permanent position as an Art Director and head of 3D. To this day I sit in a room with three of the best dickheads I've ever had the pleasure of working with. We continue to pull in many top tier clients such as, Nike, FX network, Hasbro and most recently collaborating on feature film projects. The saga continues...
