About Me

Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa; I have 22 years of experience working in this industry. I began my career at the age of 16 as a website designer and developer while I was still in high-school. Over the years I've held a variety of different positions and responsibilities; website designer and developer, 3D modeler and animator, composite 2D motion graphics designer, IT manager, and video editor.

I am passionate about my ability to create videos and animations that convey their messages effectively through visual art. With a trained eye for detail and design, my experience over the years has allowed me to sharpen my skills. I enjoy working in a challenging environment that pushes me to come up with new ideas and improve upon my technical aptitude.
