I am a graduate of the Arts Institute of Pittsburg with a BA in Media Arts and Animation. I also hold a Masters in Systems Engineering, a BA in Computer Information Systems and an AA in Fine Arts. I currently reside in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Originally, I started in IT as a network engineer designing, installing and managing computer networks, but I have always been passionate about art and have painted and sculpted on my own. A few years ago I discovered the thrill of 3D animation and have never looked back. I am comfortable with various digital software such as LightWave, Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Fusion 360, Photoshop, After Effects and Flash, but learn quickly with new software tools.

Currently, I am working a short film involving a character I created while at the Arts Institute. The character is a crab named Jingles and takes place at the bottom of a sand bar. Jingles' one desire is to become a clown, which is very much looked down upon by his family and makes him a object of ridicule by other crabs that reside in his village. One day the traveling circus comes to town and Jingles meets a clown fish named Mathurine who forever alters his fate.
