I am a 3d artist with an affinity for the entertainment industry. I love story (both linear and interactive), especially the characters and environments that make them so enjoyable. While pursuing my craft, I have become an expert in 3D Studio Max and Photoshop, and I have been exposed to a great number of other tools of the trade. In delving into these skills, I have been able to apply them in many diverse ways.
One of these applications is education. I have been teaching for four years, and I couldn't have guessed how much I would enjoy interactions with my students. They always keep me on my toes, as I never know what to expect from them next.
In addition to teaching, I have built a career as a professional freelancer. This approach to the industry has given me some very exciting opportunities to work with great companies and fantastic people. My most recent and exciting exploits include working at Dead Man Games with Jason Bramble on his "Bot Wars" project (see my Mechs and 2D Work sections --with more coming soon) and teaching at Planet Digital, Autodesk's Flagship Authorized Training Center.
