Biography
Howdy!
Grew up in & went to Film School in CO (same school as Trey Parker & Matt Stone) --> Moved to SF --> 10 years @ LucasFilm / ILM in Production & Motion Capture (acting & tech) --> 4 years Striking Distance Studio (Mocap Mgr & Actor) --> Freelance... (now).
I joined Film School because it was the "biggest human collaboration of an artform" that I could think of and I hoped I could find my creative medium within it.
Here to add my value wherever it's valuable! Even if that involved falling on my face... (LITERALLY!)
