career summary
Dedicated to the creation of photo-realistic or illustratively styled motion graphics with a particular emphasis on rendering, texturing, modeling and particle animation. I believe I stand apart from other MoGraph artists because I possess a rare blend of compelling artistic talent coupled with a wealth of technical knowledge. Using primarily After Effects, Cinema 4D and Modo I have elevated my technical aptitude to a level capable of actualizing visions as fast as my or my client’s imagination can create.

education
The Academy of Art University, San Francisco, BFA in Computer Art  – Dec 2003
