I'm a graduate from Columbia College Chicago. My concentration was in Animation (CG) but my real love is Compositing and Effects.
I freelance with various companies in Los Angeles, after moving from commercial work in Chicago. I was a member of the Pixel Corps and am currently enrolled in courses at fxphd as I am always trying to expand my knowledge and skills.
I'm currently working as a Features/Stereo Compositor at Method Studios in Santa Monica, California. I worked for ABC/Disney's in house team on the series No Ordinary Family, as well as on various films including Captain America, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Transformers 3, Priest, and 2012.
I've also been involved in a few web projects including compositing on Dan Trachtenberg's Portal: No Escape, as well as taking on the role of VFX Supervisor on the web series Hurtling Through Space At An Alarming Rate which was released on BabelGum in late 2009.
