Summary
I combined my love for computers and art to begin my journey as a 3D Artist in 2006. Since then, I have had the opportunity to develop products, work on video games, television shows, develop environments for flight simulation, build auditoriums, and create tradeshow spaces. Through all that, I met some pretty cool people along the way.
