I recently graduated from Full Sail University in Computer Animation. I was born in Virginia, spent five years living in Germany, but spent most of my life in the Buffalo, New York area. I have been a student of art, a dedicated gamer, and a film enthusiast my entire life. For years I knew I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to use my artistic ability to create either games or movies but couldn't convince myself to leave the Western New York. With support from my friends, family, and wife, I was convinced to pursue my dreams. I left New York shortly after and moved to Orlando to attend Full Sail. It was there that I obtained my Bachelor's in only twenty-one months (of blood, sweat, and tears). I've worked on some fantastic projects, with some great people, and didn't sleep nearly enough. The choice I made to come to Orlando proved to be one of the best decisions I've made in my life so far.

I'm currently married to a wonderful woman, Janelle. We have two kids (cats), Optimus Prime and Kahlua. When I'm not working on projects, I'm either on Xbox Live (gamertag: Near Fantastica),playing guitar, or watching a movie. I am currently looking for a full time job in either the Film, Game, or Architectural Visualization industries. If you have even the tiniest bit of interest in me please contact me.
