Welcome to my humble little web site. Please forgive the simplistic format of
my site. I don't use a fancy editor like FrontPage; I code all my HTML by
hand.
I am a native of up-state (Rochester) New York, but moved to Phoenix, Arizona
when I was 12. By that time I had already decided that if I never saw another
flake of snow it would be just fine with me. Phoenix was a golden paradise
compared to Rochester, and I learned to worship the sun and heat there. I love
100-degree weather!
After an aborted attempt to do the college thing at ASU, I moved to
Massachusetts
where I lived for 14 miserable years. I migrated to heavenly
San Diego back in March
1998 and have been loving every nanosecond of life in SoCal! I always felt I should have
been a California native, and now I am a resident. Woo hoo!
I have been a computer geek since I was 16, and I do software engineering for
a living. Well, at least I used to. For 9 years I was a software engineer
at a company called Vivid Technologies Inc.
But as the 1990s came to a close, I realized my heart wasn't in it anymore. I
decided it was time to change careers.
So, after four and a half years in Hollywood
spent studying 3D animation, computer graphic arts, digital video, music
theory, filmmaking, and digital visual effects, I became an Animation
Technical Director at Digital Domain.
I have the good fortune to make a living creating cutting-edge digital effects
for television and film.
