        Geography:

                            Originally born in Illinois, my family spent most of our time living in the small town of Greenup. Moved to California in time for me to do

                             my Junior & Senior year of High School in West Covina. Through the years I have lived in various SoCal cities; Redondo Beach,

                             Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Hacienda Heights, Mission Viejo, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and for many years I have now lived here in

                             Los Angeles/Hollywood.

        Art History:

                            I discovered CGI art sometime in 1996 after I got my first computer and got online. I discovered the program Poser after I had been searching

                            for something that would help me block out storyboards faster for a few screenplay's I was writing. Over the years, while slowly getting bit by the

                            CGI bug, and looking for more online art, I stumbled across Renderosity. I was also finding myself looking more and more at Bryce renders,

                            because of the quality of the renders vs. the cost of the program. Sometime in late 1999 I picked up Bryce 4, and committed myself to learning it.

                            I've spent the last years going through masses of online and retail tutorials, learning the in's and out's of what goes into the practice of creating 2D and 3D CGI.

                            While my main program of use are now Maya, Modo, ZBrush and Photoshop, I still train with my earlier programs and anything in between.
