MINI BIO

My work has always been lead by design and narrative, being able to tell stories and to communicate ideas is my passion. With my diverse skill set I can take a project through from conceptualising and scripting, to story boarding and animation, right through to the final render.

Since graduating valedictorian from Full Sail University’s Digital Arts and Design program in 2008, I have worn many hats in the industry, from script writing and storyboarding, from pre-production to post-production. One of the best parts of my industry is that you are constantly learning and honing your craft, even while making mistakes. Bob Ross was correct, “No mistakes. Just happy accidents.”

I’m not on any sort of social media, meaning you sadly can’t cyber stalk me for additional information. But if you have any questions, just give me a call (see sidebar or resume). Love, peace, and chicken grease!

WORK HISTORY

Freelance
Video Editor/Motion Graphics Artist
February 2018 – Present

Working from home has been a great experience, it allows me to not only have a flexible schedule so I can still live my life, but the ability to juggle multiple projects from multiple companies – all at once, without being tied down to the 9-5 grind. I use to have to drive over 10 hours a week to and from work… that’s an entire days worth of work just commuting every week! Now I’m 20 steps from my office at all times, able to cook a real meal during lunch, and my dog sleeps at my feet all day – life’s good.
