A lifelong gamer and artist, I found the perfect creative outlet to do it all when I joined the video game industry. Originally working towards being a comic book artist (I was 16 when my first comic was published), fate had it that I would join a little studio by the name of Sony, and thus, change my life forever. My adventure has taken me all over the gaming landscape, having created environments, characters, logos, ui, animation, and vfx. I've worked on all platforms, Console, PC, Web, and Mobile. This experience has led me to management where I've spent the last 13+ years launching games, managing live operations, training and mentoring artists, hiring artists, vetting and managing outsourcing, establishing art pipelines, streamlining workflows, establishing art styles, and art direction. Titles of note are EverQuest, EverQuest 2, Firefall, Kingdom Hearts 3, Pocket Politics, and SpongeBob's Idle Adventures. My hobbies outside of art and video games include 3d printing, board games, whiskey, wine, scuba diving, travel, concerts, and music.
