Summary

With over 25 years of experience spanning 20+ titles across games, film, and television, I bridge the gap between high-end technical execution and visionary creative leadership. From my roots at CalArts to scene lead for the Emmy-winning Sport Science, I have spent my career mastering the art of visual storytelling.
Currently, I leverage this expertise to drive innovation in VR medical training as Creative Director of M-Brain Entertainment and to shape the future of the industry as Game Art Program Lead at RMCAD. I am dedicated to building a thriving, sustainable entertainment media ecosystem in Colorado by mentoring the next generation of world-class artists.
