Simply put, I am an artist. Born in New Mexico, I spent my early childhood in Patterson, NY and later years in Charleston, SC. I attended Charleston County's School of the Arts high school program for 6 years studying fine art. There, I learned basic skills such as drawing, painting, sculpture and photography.

From there, I moved on to receive a BFA in FILM PRODUCTION DESIGN at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston- Salem, NC. My training touched on every aspect of motion picture filmmaking but specialized in the design and fabrications of sets and props.

Afterwards, I spent some time in Los Angeles, CA working for a film production company learning the inner-workings of Hollywood. Since then, I have been back to school for additional Science credits. My hope is to use my artistic background to help progress scientific education and media. I now freelance in a variety of fields.

Jack-of-all-trades is the best way to describe what I do. Although I have studied to work in film, I am really open to any avenue that requires design and a creative eye. I am, among other things, a carpenter, a welder, a sculpture, a painter, animator, drafter, photographer, etc. I have also experimented with green-screen visual effects, stereo 3D photography, stop-motion animation, and camera rig fabrication. My goal is to be in a position where I do something different everyday- bringing all my various crafts into play.
