Welcome

This site highlights some of my creative and technical work in the film, animation, video game, and tech industries over the last fifteen years. I am a technical manager and 3D generalist with production experience in story, previs, animation, editing, matchmove, compositing, cinematics, AR, VR, mocap, and pipeline tooling. I am an alumni of Sony Imageworks, Dreamworks Animation, Telltale Games, and Lucasfilm. The background image is from a shot I prevised for the Clone Wars, picked for the Season 7 poster. I am currently working at Facebook creating AR/VR content and pipelines for the Avatar group.
