VFX Supervisor and Creative Technologist

Award-winning artist and supervisor — Commercials, episodic, feature film, and immersive — expert at every stage of post production.

For nearly 30 years I've helped bring creative ideas to the screen. I work as a visual effects supervisor, leading teams and running shoots, and as a hands-on artist and technologist who builds the pipelines and tools and finds ways to pull off things that haven't been done before. I've delivered award-winning work for Netflix, Apple, ESPN, and Target, and I'm as comfortable in a post house as I am inside an in-house creative team.
