I'm a graduate from Columbia College Chicago. My concentration was in Animation (CG) but my real love is Compositing and Effects.
I freelance with various companies in Los Angeles, after moving from commercial work in Chicago. I was a member of the Pixel Corps and am currently enrolled in courses at fxphd as I am always trying to expand my knowledge and skills.
I'm currently working as a Features/Stereo Compositor with Method Studios in Santa Monica, California. In the past I worked for ABC/Disney's in house team on the series No Ordinary Family. Also among my credits are various films including The Avengers, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, Captain America, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Transformers 3, Priest, and 2012.
Recently I worked with Method Design as the lead compositor on The Avengers main end titles. You can see it in full on Method Studio's website.
I've also been involved in a few web projects including compositing on Dan Trachtenberg's Portal: No Escape, as well as taking on the role of VFX Supervisor on the web series Hurtling Through Space At An Alarming Rate which was released on BabelGum in late 2009.
