Summary
Howdy.
For over 20 years, I have had the good fortune of working in the Film/ Game/ Animation Industry.
It's been a crazy fun ride, and I love being creative.
Almost 10 of those 20 years have been working at Disney Interactive / Avalanche Studios, where I have sculpted many different characters for the Disney Infinity Franchise.
My Disney Game credits include:
- Narnia ( Character Artist )
- Ultimate Band ( Character Artist )
- Phineas and Ferb ( Character Artist )
- Epic Mickey ( Worlds/ Environment Artist )
- Toy Story 3 ( Character Artist )
- Disney Infinity 1 to the most current Infinity ( Character Artist )
Other game credits include
- Atari Gauntlet Legends ( Character Artist / Animator )
- Atari Guantlet Legacy ( Character Artist / Animator )
- Activision Civilization ( Character Artist )
and more.
I have had many years working in ALL aspects of the 2d and 3d process. I have worked with clients in film/ animation/ and print for companies such as Disney, Nickelodeon, PDI, DreamWorks, Sony, Pixar, National Geographic, and too many more to mention.
I have experience creating full 3d medical animation videos from start to finish for training, education, manufacturing, etc.
I have also created 3d accident reconstruction videos for court cases.
My real passion is writing and creating stories, screenplays, character development and design.
There is nothing more fulfilling than creating a living, breathing concept/ story.
My hobbies include family, travel to Africa (humanitarian), songwriting / producing music, and a good ol' funky porch jam session.
My biggest dream?.....One day I hope to Direct and Produce an animated film/ or live action film.
