I was born and raised in La Ciudad De Nuestra Señora, La Reina De Los Angeles. That's the original name of L.A. I grew up in the hills of Laurel Canyon, where I honed my skills as a coyote tracker and downhill skateboarder. I spent my high-school years in the mountains of Santa Barbara where my interest in art and music took shape. It was then off to The University of Colorado at Boulder where I further developed my interests in snowboarding, tending bar, punk rock, and received a BFA in Film Studies. Upon graduation, I returned to Los Angeles to pursue a career in show-business, and landed in the world of commercial post-production. I was not quite able to throw in the towel on music however so between band rehearsals, I taught myself the art of compositing, eventually becoming a Flame Artist. Since then I've worked for many of the leading visual effects companies in Los Angeles and New York including The Mill, A52, Mac Guff, Logan, Mass Market and Psyop.
This site is a showcase for everything I do, think and feel like putting up here for you to see. It is a constant work in progress so check back for updates and additions. Please take a look around and enjoy. Get in touch if you like what you see.
Update:
A52 recently offered me a staff position as a Lead Flame Artist and I have accepted. Monday, August 8th marked my first official day as a permanent member of their team. I'm very excited to continue working with them here and to see what the future has in store.
