I currently work as the Art Director at Asteri, where I am leading the art teams for the Gobsmax Galaxy Game (and Otrio.) I am driven by a passionate pursuit of the highest quality art in games and entertainment, and I work tirelessly to acheive it. I have been leading, directing, and teaching wherever I've gone in varying capacities for the last 13+ years. I make extra efforts to mentor and coach artists under me. I am very proud of the acheivments of my former students and direct reports. I have 2 at Insomniac Games, where they made Sony's (game of the year nominated) Spider-Man, and are working on Spiderman 2, some at EA, as well as at other great studios, and some with sucessful freelance careers.

I cut my teeth as an Art Director at Envu, and Ootii before that, making over 25 fun PC, mobile, VR, and AR games and experiences. I've done contract work sculpting Dungeons and Dragons miniatures for Wizards of the Coast's collectibles via GaleForce Nine, hard surface characters and vehicles for n-Space, plus other freelance exploits. I worked at EA on NBA Live for three cycles. I started out there as an unasuming new hire, but before I left I sculpted and textured every body type for the body morphs each character in the game uses, I created marquis characters like Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, James Hardin, and cover artists like Damien Lillard. I made target art and documentation for the outsourcers to follow, and managed outsorcers for all tattoos, as well as heads, shoes, and hair. Before that, I was at Crytek's first US-based studio, RealTime Immersive, otherwise known as the "seventh secret studio" where I was a character artist, a CryENGINE 3 instructor, and a training coordinator. I have a Master's Degree from FIEA, the #1 ranked graduate game design school, and am a veteran with 8 years military service.

In my free time I enjoy playing games, doing tutorials, rollerblading, swimming, water skiing, walking my dog Lucy, going to the movies --especially super hero movies, relaxing at home with friends and a good board game.
